Book recalls tsunami through children's eyes

Translate it into every language there is. An incredibly moving project, but essential.

wow, already on it's 3rd print and we are just now hearing about it?

Where can we find it, I want to buy a few copies for friends back home.

I will buy it.

Oh god, I am in tears just reading the article!

What a wonderful way to help the children to express themselves and overcome their experiences.

My kids broke my heart in the weeks following the disaster. They would build up building of lego, and then yell either "jishin" or "tsunami" and knock them all down again. My daughter was drawing pictures of buildings with a wall of water going over them. She still wont sleep in her own room - she sleeps with her brother now.

PLEASE JT: post a link to where we can find information and/or buy this book.

I would translate it into English for free for them. It is an important piece of work and it would be my pleasure to contribute to it.

Must be this one: http://tinyurl.com/3favnfa

I will buy it.

better wait, there will be plenty of books titled like "Untold Miseries Of Fukushima Nuclear Disaster - Japan"

I've just ordered it off Amazon. Would love a copy in English. Moved to tears reading the children's words. It just makes me think we all have to try and make a better world for the children. If they have the capacity to be so brave and hopeful for the future, I am dammed sure I can be too. It would seem that heroes come in big and mini sizes.

Children see and view the world in total honesty and tell it how it is in their eyes. Their innocence makes for the truth that many of us have lost somewhere along the way. Some may critisise the young, but if we listen to them, we may yet learn something of value

I know one of the little boys who wrote a story that's inside the book (He is 7 years old and from Ishinomaki) he lost his elder brother, his home and he and his mum recently moved to Yokohama to try and rebuild. I met them on my first volunteering trip to Ishinomaki. Since then I have met up with them two other times.

I met them for lunch recently in Yokohama, it was so nice to see him smiling again and playing with his toys.

Thats nice to know Tokyokawasaki. Thanks for sharing that with us.
