Faces of Hawaii
In 2008 and 2009, HI Art Magazine invited the residents of Hawaii to be part of an ongoing project to create a portrait of the time, place and community in which we live. Hawaii photographers of all ages, amateur and professional, contributed images of the faces of the inhabitants of these islands. The end result is a series of books, compiled by respected curators from Hawaii.

Off The Grid Without A Paddle
by Lynne Farr

OFF THE GRID WITHOUT A PADDLE is the true story of two greenhorns, escapees from the gritty City of Los Angeles, who buy a home off the grid in a tropical mountain rainforest in rural Hawaii, with fantasies of utopia and dreams of self-sufficiency, but no real idea of what they're getting into.

In their first year in an unfamiliar new world, the high-tech, low tech, no-tech learning curve is steep and hilarious: exasperating, exhilarating...exciting!

Whether or not you share the dream of moving off the grid, you'll get a laugh out of their unexpected adventures.

6" x 9" - 141 pages - soft cover: $19.39

Dreamgirl
by Stephen Freedman
A book for parents about making books for children

“By the time my daughter, Olivia was four years old. I’d written five or six little books for her. Each had become as important to her as Peter Pan, or The Wizard of Oz. They were tiny classics designed exclusively for her experiences. But there was no denying their impact, and the importance of these stories in our lives. They helped us to communicate and transcend issues which might otherwise have stopped us...” —Stephen Freedman

“Stephen has produced a manual for parenting…an approach with universal application. Both parent and child benefit, for as the parents nurture and encourage their child’s development by placing his or her experiences in a larger context in the stones, they cannot help but revisit and learn from their own childhood experiences…then the way is clear for a closer, more natural relationship between parent and child: and such relationships are a true source of the joy which human beings are capable of feeling.”
— Jonathan Christie, MFCC

This is much more than a book about making books for children. It is a window into timeless issues of growing up. It is about intimacy, about AIDS, and about transcendence. It is a personal story of our time. And it is also about making books for children.
