The new Marshallese-English children's book Life in the Marshall Islands: Then and Now was successfully delivered to its authors this past week. Each author received a copy of the book that he or she helped write and illustrate. The fifth graders especially liked the "About Me" section.

Thanks to all those involved in this project! This book may be included in next year's textbook bundle for Ebeye Elementary School. Thanks also to the Marshall Islands Journal, who printed an article in both Marshallese and English about the book on May 9, 2014 (Vol. 45, No. 19, p. 8 and p. 20).
We hope that this book will inspire other Marshallese students to create their own stories and to be proud of their cultural heritage. The book can be found on Amazon here.
