INPARTICIPATION
WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND

HAPPY FACED SPIDER IN HAWAII.
THESE SPIDERS ARE ENDEMIC
MEANING THEY'RE UNIQUE TO OUR
ENVIRONMENT HERE.
REALLY CUTE SPIDER.
SOEL NANA WAKES UP, ONE
BIRTHDAY.
SHE'S VERY EXCITED.
THINKS SHE'S GOING TO HAVE
LIKE CAKE AND GET SO MEET ALL
OF HER FRIENDS.
GETS DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE HER

I WANT TO ASK YOU, FRIEND THAT
BOOK, DIFFERENT ANIMALS THAT
ARE UNIQUE TO THE HAWAIIAN
ISLAND.
IS THERE A REASON WHY YOU
CHOSE THOSE ANIMALS?

COURSES.
THOSE ARE ANIMAL AS WE TEND TO
HIGHLIGHT A LOT.
BECAUSE ALL OF THE ANIMALS IN
THE BOOK ARE ENDEMIC.
TO THE ISLANDS.
HAWAIIAN OWL, KAMEHAMEHA
BUTTERFLY,.
Mikey: AWESOME.
THE BOOK ITSELF, WHAT IS THE
INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WHOLE
STORY?
BECAUSE IT'S VERY LIKE A SAID,
EASY READ BUT HUGE MESSAGE.
THINK THE MESSAGE THAT I'M
TRYING TO CONVEY IS BASICALLY
ABOUT FEELINGS AND ABOUT HOW
LIKE EVEN YOU KNOW, USING
HAPPY FACED SPIDERS, YOU LOOK
AT IT, YOU WOULD THINK I WAS
THINKING, YOU WOULD THINK THIS
CREE TORCREATURE IS ALWAYS MA HAPPY.
IT HAS EMOTIONS LIKE
EVERYTHING ELSE.
IT CAN GO THROUGH BEING BAD IN
DEPRESS AND SOMETHING CAN
HAPPEN AND YOU CAN GET YOUR
HAPPINESS BACK.
GENTLEMAN THIS IS YOUR FIRST
BOOK YOU WRITTEN.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
Mikey: WHAT WAS YOUR
INSPIRATION AND WHAT BROUGHT
YOU TO WRITING?
THE BOOK?
WELL, I THINK THE FACT THAT
I'VE BEEN A TEACHER FOR A LONG
TIME NOW, SO INTERACTING WITH
KIDS OVER TIME, GETTING
OPPORTUNITY TO READ A LOT OF
BOOKS, TO CHILDREN, IT KIND OF
NATURAL PROGRESSION.
I THINK TO WANTING TO WRITE A
CHILDREN'S BOOK.
AND I HAVE FAMILY SO ...
Mikey: YEAH.
YOU HAVE A 3-YEAR-OLD RUSHINGS
IT?
-- 3-YEAR-OLD, RIGHT?
3-YEAR-OLD, DEFINITELY HAS
LIKE INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THE
BOOK ALSO.
WE READ EVERY NIGHT.
WE READ BOOKS.
Mikey: I GOT HAPPY
ACTUALLY JUST LOOKING AT THE
DESIGN.
WAS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT
HELPED YOU WITH PRINTING THIS
BOOK?
OH, YEAH.
I COULDN'T CREATE THE BOOK
WITHOUT THE TWO GREAT
ILLUSTRATORS THAT HELPED ME.
EUNICE KIM AND ALLEN LUKE.
THEY BOTH DID A WONDERFUL JOB
BEYOND MY EXPECTATION.
SO REALLY PLEASED TO WORK WITH
THEM AND YOU MENTIONED THE
FACT THAT THE SMILE ON THE
GOES UP AND DOWN.
THAT WAS THEIR INSPIRATION.
SO THAT WASN'T SOMETHING I SAW
LIKE THE INITIALLY, YOU KNOW,
VISUALLY WHEN I WROTE THE
BOOK.
BUT THEY ADDED THAT WHICH IS
THE VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT I
THINK TO BOOK.
Mikey: THIS IS YOUR FIRST
BOOK.
THIS ISN'T YOUR LAST BOOK.
YOU'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING
ELSE, RIGHT?
YES.
RIGHT NOW, I'M WORKING ON A
BOOK ON THE PINEAPPLE
INDUSTRY.
AND THE CULTURE AROUND THAT
INDUSTRY.
HOW IT PLAYS INTO THE STORY OF
THE DEVELOPMENT OF HAWAII
TODAY.
