Description or summary of the book: In early-1900s Japan, Misuzu Kaneko grows from precocious bookworm to instantly-beloved children's poet. But her life ends prematurely, and Misuzu's work is forgotten. Decades later her poems are rediscovered-just in time to touch a new generation devastated by the tsunami of 2011. This picture book features Misuzu's life story plus a trove of her poetry in English and the original Japanese. Big Catch: At sunrise, glorious sunrise it's a big catch! A big catch of sardines! On the beach, it's like a festival but in the sea, they will hold funerals for the tens of thousands dead.
