We really liked how this book opened up many points of discussion: fear of a natural force, fear of death, grief, friendship, honour and respect. Thank you for listing this book.

A big wave (tsunami?) washes away a fishing village in Japan. Short book, but full of opportunities to talk about lots of important life and death types of things.

A beautiful story. It is a heartbreaking plot with a happy ending, I was surprised that my son was so touched by these characters.
