Of all of the Tiki-related books I’ve collected, this was the first children’s book. Some of the artists I follow have embraced a trend of illustrating books for kids. Mookie Sato took this one step further and created the story and illustrations for his book Puuwai - A Tale of The South Seas. It’s a wonderful story of a young Polynesian girl who embarks on a journey to find herself. I was happy to support the Kickstarter campaign that helped publish this book. I was pleasantly surprised when my shipment arrived with an extra book: a “baton” to share with others, who will hopefully pass this book on after reading it. What a great idea! Mahalo, Mookie Sato.
