About the author

Makana Books

Aloha! I'm a Hawaii-based author, and educator devoted to writing and educating children's books that are culturally rich and inspired by the beauty and history of the Hawaiian Islands. As a lifelong resident of Hawaii, I am passionate about introducing young readers to the island's stories, traditions, and natural wonders.

With over a decade of experience as a primary school educator, I understand the significance of lifelong learning and the power of storytelling to educate and inspire. The vibrant photographs of tropical plants and gardens in my books demonstrate my passion for gardening and the verdant landscape of Hawaii.

Each book I create is meticulously crafted to be a comprehensive learning experience, containing lesson plans, poems, songs, recipes, games, and more. I hope to inspire children's curiosity, cultivate an appreciation for Hawaii's distinct culture, and inspire them to explore the world around them.

I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the islands, and continuing to learn about Hawaii's rich history and culture when I'm not writing or tending to my garden.
