Publisher Description:
Ojiisan, the oldest and wealthiest man in the village, doesn't join the others at the rice ceremony. Instead he watches from his balcony. He feels something is coming; something he can't describe. When he sees the monster wave pulling away from the beach, he knows. Tsunami But the villagers below can't see the danger. Will Ojiisan risk everything he has to save them? Can he?
