About the Nausicaa of Valley of Wind Picture Book Hardcover Ghibli

Beyond the sea lies the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens and home to Nausicaä, who risks everything to save her people and bring peace and health to the valley. An oversized picture book capturing the magic of Hayao Miyazaki's legendary animated film with easy-to-read text, full-color pictures direct from the film and a family-friendly oversized hardcover format.
