Tsunami!

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Young. Following a mild earthquake, the sea withdraws and villagers run out to explore. But Japanese rice farmer Ojiisan remembers his grandfather's tsunami tales. Desperate to save everyone, he ignites his fields, and the villagers rush to his aid. In Kajikawa's simple adaptation of an 1897 story, the dramatic events carry the narrative gracefully, much abetted by Young's gorgeous multimedia collages.
