Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve read this before but paid more attention this time. A few years back I read, then watched the tsunami book and film The Impossible. Surviving, then rebuilding after this kind of event is monumental. The village elder reiterates “We love life bc we live in danger. We do not fear death bc we understand that life and death are necessary to each other.â€�

“The Big Wave� by Pearl S. Buck

Child Study Association‘s Children‘s Book Award

The Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize winning author Buck shares a story of fiction with a look into traditional historical Japanese culture. Kino and Jiya experience themes of overcoming tragedy and bravery. It is a short easy read that elementary students could tackle.

Enchanting and haunting

This was a nice short book that teaches about tragedy and how someone overcomes it. This book tells the story about Kino and Jiya and how they went about life after the big wave. Good book for younger readers �

"Ah, no one knows who makes evil storms," his father replied. "We only know that they come. When they come we must live through them as bravely as we can, and after they are gone, we must feel again how wonderful is life. Every day of life is more valuable now than it was before the storm."

I saw it and I felt like reading it right now. Hope it's good ☺�
