When I read my book.......

When I read my book I am transported to the Island of Maui, I hear the sounds, I feel the air, I smell the scents and I just know that I have truly experienced Maui. This book is just unbelievable. The story has a recurring theme that goes through to the end. The pictures are beautiful. I love the way the sounds that you "hear" are seen in the picture. I read this to a group of children at a Luau that I had. They loved the story & the pictures but had the most fun finding the sound that was in the picuture to go with the story. They really experienced Maui by creating the sounds on their own. This author is one-of-a-kind who really puts herself in her books. I am trying to be patient in anticipation of her new book that is coming out soon. I encourage any one who is looking into this book to purchase it whether it is for a child or an adult the book will thrill you just the same!!!! ALOHA!!!

Better than the classics

This is our favorite children's book ever! So well-written, with fabulous illustrations - it really does take to you the island for a mini vacation. And the way the words play off each other makes this book as much fun to read for ME as it is for my daughter. This book makes me glad I have a child so I have an excuse to read it aloud every single day. We are anxiously awaiting other books by this author...

Great family read!!

When I am Quiet on Maui has been enjoyed by our family over and over. The art work brings the story to life. We are transported in our thoughts to the island with every read. We await the next of the Tiki Tales series. This author/artist has a real skill at bringing the reader to the Island.

2nd Best to Being There!

My children and I love this book! The pictures are so cute and colourful that kids of all ages enjoy them. I really liked learning and teaching the Hawaiian lingo introduced on each page; it made me feel like I had my own private Hawaiian tutor :-) If you need a virtual vacation this book will definitely help you daydream your way to the quiet sunshine!

Wonderful Wonderful!

Not only is the story wonderful, but the illustration is to die for. The author is also a wonderful artist! This book is a pleasure to the eye as well as a wonderful story for children and the young at heart.
