Ojiisan, a wise rice farmer, lives on a mountain overlooking his village and the ocean. On the day of the rice harvest festival, something does not seem right, so Ojiisan stays home and views the celebration from afar. As he watches, an earthquake-itself not unusual-rumbles beneath him. Then "Ojiisan turned his keen old eyes toward the sea. It had darkened suddenly and was moving against the wind. THE SEA WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LAND! . . . But none of the villagers realized the danger they were in." Full-color mixed-media illustrations. A 2010 ALA Notable Children's Book.
