The Great Wave

Hokusai’s classic woodcut of a majestic wave becomes the starting point for a storybook children will want to read again and again.

On a stormy winter’s day, a baby boy, Naoki, is swept into a fisherman’s boat by a great wave. Years pass, but still Naoki does not grow. Must he return to the ocean in order to become a young man? The answer arrives in the form of a mythic fish.
