MY BEST FRIEND
Written & Illustrated by Lois Kim
Hardcover, 24 pages

Author-illustrator Lois Kim reminds children that they always have a best friend to cheer them on and help them to be their best. The charmingly illustrated rhymed-verse narrative concludes:  My best friend is ME and I am my best friend.

My Best Friend  was born of Kim’s desire to encourage her daughter—and herself—during times of self-doubt and to give the pre-teen inner strength and confidence as she was bullied in school.

ISLAND MEMOIRS
Multiple contributors
Hardcover, 232 pages

From the pre-war years to statehood and into a new millennium, the Hawaiian Islands came of age like nowhere else. It’s a tale best told by those who lived it—from small kid time to school days to finding a place in sports or show business, in the boardroom or the courtroom. A unique collection of first-person stories from the people who made the headlines—and the stories behind the headlines .
