Yuki's Special Delivery, (Hardcover)

<b>A delightful tale of a small community coming together to care for one another, celebrating diasporic AAPI food culture, found family, and upcycling!</b> <p>Delivery girl Yuki loves helping out at her grandfather's service station and dreams of owning a bicycle of her own! But Yuki's grandpa has been trading goods to help out his local customers, and Yuki is concerned they won't have enough money to buy a new bike. "On the island, everyone is ohana," says Ojiichan. After assisting a neighbor who gets into a bit of trouble, Yuki discovers it feels good to be a part of a community that takes care of one another--and she even receives a special delivery of her own! </p><p>Inspired by the author's Japanese-American grandfather who owned a service station on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i, this cozy picture book honors local community and includes scrumptiously illustrated delicacies that make for a great seek-and-find element on re-reads, including: salty seaweed snacks, light and airy liliko'i pie, and fried malasadas. Great for curriculums on sustainability to demonstrate the value of taking something old and making it new again!</p>
