If Miyako Island is "tiny" I wonder what JU would call Yonaguni and Ishigaki?

With a land area of 226 sq.km, which represents 10% of Okinawa Prefecture’s total land area, Miyako has a population of approximately 55,000 people

Now about the book, great for the kids, and hopefully they will manage to find a better way to conserve their water.
