Oishi

Pualani and the 3 Mano Oishi

3 hungry sharks live in their dream home, a condo in the sunken remains of a super aircraft carrier. While dinner cools, they go holoholo (stroll) through the depths. Surfing prodigy Pualani wipes out in a massive swell, sending her to the bottom of the sea. Following her stomach she stumbles upon a leviathan's luau- 3 plates of gastronomic delights just waiting to be devoured! Appetites collide in Devin Oishi's first children's book based on the classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Need a taste of Hawaii? The indelible watercolors and prose illuminate Oishi's wild imagination while showcasing Hawaii's unique culture and pidgin dialect. Translated into Japanese by Akihiro Okada and Hiroko Mori, Pualani takes readers, back to hanabutah (childhood) days at the beach. Available in English: The Blalas in the Mano's Hale and Da Blalas
