“In a perfect world, all schools would be able to host authors and other creative artists. Luckily, our less-than-perfect world has organizations like WAAC that make this possible throughout the community.” - @erinentrada

I'm proud to share my newest #interview with the absolutely wonderful #author @MaliaMaunakea! When I first #read Malia's mythological adventure debut, LEI AND THE FIRE GODESS, I was captivated & devoured it in one sitting! I didn't know at the time that Malia is also a champion of #kindness! 🌺youtu.be/QvHYRnk9nkU?si… Malia helped organize a #kindness team that helped raise nearly $200,000 for #BooksforMaui. That makes Malia a hero in my book! Watch our talk & be inspired! youtu.be/QvHYRnk9nkU?si… #NewEpisode #TEACHers @diversebooks @penguinkids @TheRock #mythology #Maui #Hawaii #booklovers

As someone who attended a Title 1 school and went into book fairs and drooled but could never afford, this means so much to me (and my elementary school is on the list of places I'm visiting!) We are still fundraising. Info on how you can support Native Hawaiian students in bio!

In the coming days/weeks I'll post more details about which schools I'm visiting. I still have a couple of slots open for non-Title 1 schools. If your school is interested please DM me or contact me through my website. (2/3)

"I knew from the onset that I had to deliver not only the power of words, but speak to how these stories come from my life, my own journey as a kid in a refugee camp, a poor child in America with hopes and dreams." - @kaokaliayang

WAAC is only able to do its work because of incredible teachers, administrators, librarians, and support staff who welcome our authors and illustrators into their schools. Thank you, educators and school staff!
