When my son in law moved to Oahu from New Mexico, he had a difficult time sleeping because our birds made so much noise compared to their birds of prey. Its been 18 years and the ruckus is just small kine now. Your book is refreshing, happy and simply wonderful as you convey local life, chickens amuck in the islands through your artistry. Mahalo Jihae and I am so thankful you have adopted the islands as your 2nd home.

What a lovely observation about creatures we tend to regard as background noise, if they even enter our conscience beyond plastic-wrapped body parts! How great to be able to observe their behavior in unexpected places. I'm so glad you made a book about that, dear Jihae!
