"Bought your book this weekend and really love it! Great story, great illustrations. I read it to my 4 yr. old son and he really loves it too. You all did a great job capturing life in Okinawa. Best of luck!"

"We just read this tonight before bed. My 5 year old said she got a tear in her eye. It is very cute. We ordered one for her Grandma in Colorado who is a children's librarian."

Kelly and her family visited with mayor of Yomitan Village, Keizo Yasuda, to present him with a book before moving to the U.S.
"My girls devoured the book as soon as they saw it after getting home from school. They absolutely loved it and then started saying they miss Okinawa. Great story and great job at capturing the Okinawan "feel." Can't wait to give the other copy to our friends moving there soon."

"We received our copy yesterday! We read it as a family during our nightly book time. We all 3 loved it!! It is such a fun story! We're hoping you've started a series and there's more to come!!"
- Missy, South Korea
"We gave a copy of the book to our 3-year old nephew Ryan and he had to show his appreciation wearing his shisa t-shirt we bought him on Heiwa-dori a year and a half ago. It really is a wonderful book and even all the adults who read it are enthralled. Thank you so much for this exciting creation!"
