From Hawai'i with Aloha, Grandma and GrandpaWritten and Illustrated by Tammy Yee Island Heritage, 2008 Did you know... That Kilauea has spewed enough lava to fill more than a million Olympic-sized swimming pools? That a newborn humpack whale calf drinks one hundred gallons of milk a day? Or that twenty-seven Waimea Canyons stretched end to end can fit into the Grand Canyon? Children learn about the wonders of Hawai'i as they join Grandma and Grandpa on a trip through the Hawaiian Islands. With additional space for postcards, keepsakes, and notes from their visit, grandparents can share their personal memories with their grandchildren. A great gift for that special child in your life.
The Bank Street College of Education in New York City has announced Tsunami Quilt is on its list of the "Best Books of the Year" for 2007
April 1, 1946--an enormous tsunami wave strikes Hilo, Hawaii, causing death and destruction. Even those islanders who are fortunate to have survived find their lives forever altered. Young Kimo loves his grandfather very much--they go everywhere together, sharing island stories and experiences. But there is one story his grandfather has yet to share and that is the reason behind their yearly pilgrimage to Laupahoehoe Point. Here, in silent remembrance, Granfather places a flower lei atop a stone monument.
It is only after his grandfather's sudden death that Kimo learns the story behind their annual visit and the reason for the sadness that has haunted his grandfather throughout the years. Evocative writing by award-winning children's book author Anthony D. Fredericks brings this tragic event from Hawaiian history to present-day reality for young readers today. With a Teaching Guide by Sleeping Bear Press.
On September 8, 2007 the Pacific Tsunami Museum hosted a free event featuring children's author and illustrator Tammy Yee and her new book, "The Tsunami Quilt." The book is dedicated to the late Bunji Fujimoto, a long time friend and supporter of the museum and a 1946 Laupahoehoe tsunami survivor. Museum director Donna Saiki began the program and Ed Mahoney read the book aloud to the audience. After the reading Donna concluded with some more tsunami survivor stories from Laupahoehoe and the video of the Yoshikazu Murakami story.
You can purchase The Tsunami Quilt directly from the Pacific Tsunami Museum. Selected by the Hawaii Center for the Book to represent Hawai'i at the 2006 National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.

In the past few years, the Hawaiian monk seal population has plummeted to 1,200 individuals, making it the United States' most endangered marine mammal. The oldest living seal species, it is one of only two remaining tropical seals--the Mediterranean monk seal is also critically endangered. A third tropical seal, the Carribean monk seal, has been extinct since the 1950s. Tammy Yee is proud to have illustrated the official poster commemorating NOAA's recovery plan. Revised after intensive research, the plan will focus on a captive care program to nutritionally supplement vulnerable juvenile female seals. You can help the Hawaiian monk seal by:
