Kathleen and her two sons (Noah and Jonah) wrote and illustrated this story from their home on the island of Saipan in the Northern Marianas Islands. They wrote this story just for fun and enjoyed reading it to children of Chamorro, Carolinian, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese descent - to name a few! They were amazed at how much this story resonated across all cultures. This prompted them to consider publishing it for others to enjoy around the world! In the final editing process, they felt moved to use this book as a tool to instill the importance of self esteem at a young age.
