[Machine Translation] Tuvalu is an island nation in the South Pacific. The country is often spoken of in terms of fear and tragedy, as it is in danger of being submerged due to global warming. However, when I actually visited Tuvalu, I saw happy people with radiant smiles on their faces. The truth of the world cannot be known only from information in the media. With abundant color photographs, this book explores the way people live and think, and what is "truly important" for us.
