The Inch-High Samurai

By -
This story of a person only an inch high who wishes to be a samurai and kills a demon is not only a great story, but it also has it told in 2 langauges - english and japanese - on each page. The illustrations are great. Overall, yes, I would recommend it. People who are learning japanese, reading to thier kids, or are in grades Kindergarden through 3rd grade should read this book.

And so it happened that she asked me if our little b

The Story Behind Moa by Tricia Stewart Shiu I've always loved Hawaii and was thrilled when my husband booked a visit for us to see his relatives in Honolulu, Hawaii in October of 2006. We packed light and brought our daughter, who was three-years-old at the time. Our condo was close to parks and monuments that oozed history. We enjoyed wandering around and indulging in the local cuisine. I even tried poi and liked it! The morning after we arrived, I rose early to push my daughter’s stroller through the quiet, cool morning air. It felt like such a gift to experience Honolulu before the rest of the island was up. After a hearty island breakfast, we
