We are two hours into the First Book-Oahu Book Fair here at Barnes & Noble Kahala and it has been a busy day so far. We’ve already had Midweek’s “Click Chick” Alison Stewart read for storytime, followed by a wild appearance by Clifford the Big Red Dog which got an excited reception from the keiki […]
Story time has just begun and it’s my turn to blog a book review! I just finished singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It” with some First Book-Oahu volunteers, in front of about 30 kids! They’re all so adorable and happy. If you haven’t been to one of First Book-Oahu’s book fairs then you’re […]

However, wanting the site to be 100% user friendly, you may notice that we may be […]

Upon inspecting the cover of this little square book, I swear the Buddha contains a glint of confident mischief in his eye along with a hint of a humorous smile. This is all quite befitting Words of Wisdom (Koa Books, 2008) because as I flipped through the quotes compiled by Lama Surya Das, I was pleasantly […]
We’re going on vacation! Woohoo! Hawaii Book Blog will be on absent leave for the next week in Tokyo, Japan. This means no Book End post on Friday and not as many book and event tweets as per usual on Twitter. However, you may see us pop up with a tweet or two on our […]
