This picture book is about a battle over knishes between two competing businesses. Set in New York City and inspired by a real knish price war in the early 1900s, this entertaining picture book follows Benny’s family as a rival knishery opens across the street. Soon both shops are lowering prices and offering samples to attract more customers…but, eventually learn how to coexist. A great introduction to competition, pricing, entrepreneurship, and community!

One of so many moving events I experienced on Maui, this one at the @niseiveterans to present @joannef’s + my book “Unforgotten Voices of Heart Mountain.” There were folks there who had connections to Heart Mountain + many of the other prison camps, including the nephew of one of the voices in the book, Toyo Nitake!

The space is beautiful, filled inside and out with the powerful Nisei vet portraits of @kirkkurokawa + origami cranes from Covid times. 🙏to @dtegarden for inviting me + being such a gracious conversation partner, Melanie + all who attended!

PS: The fresh orchid lei is one of countless beautiful examples bestowed on me + the #spammusubi made my island musubi experience complete, after @leeohigashi’s!🤗🙏❤️

What a beautiful weekend celebrating our amazing mom on her 90th birthday. The author of more than 50 books and working on a new project - she’s taught us to always be curious, work hard and go after your dreams. I’m so grateful to be her daughter. 🐨💕

Discover Nikkei published a terrific article by Edna Horiuchi today about our new book, UNFORGOTTEN Voices from Heart Mountain.
It is an interview about how the book came to be. Here's the link...

No one inspires me more than my incredible mom @joannef This remains one of my favorite pics of us together. It’s from one of her first press events when she launched her first picture book. I think it was also the first time I really appreciated what she did (besides being our mom and teaching full time). The days she would put on one of her author suits and head into nyc to meet with her publisher stand out for me. I would miss her terribly on those days, love how glamorous she looked - but looking back I see how those days were about her going after her dream. I may not have been able to see it then but it clearly became part of me.
We built a business together that is always an adventure and always full of laughter. #grateful #thankyou #internationalwomensday #strongwomen #inspirational #womeninbiz #mothersanddaughters
