Miss Akiko's Children's Books

Miss Akiko is the author of 3 children's books, each of them bursting with colors beautiful images of the Hawaii she loves. She was born & raised in Hawaii "before the freeways." She also runs a Buddhist Bed & Breakfast at her 85-year-old home along the Hamakua Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Miss Takuan is the story of an off-grade daikon turnip pickle. The moral of the story is: it's "okay" to be off-grade, a little different. We don't have to be A-grade perfect. The book is ageless & has been used in schools for kids who don't fit in, as well as for adults who are delightfully different. 32 splendidly colored illustrations by Steve Brost & Melissa Reed. Soft. $8.95 + shipping.
