WELCOME!

BeachHouse publishes local children's books in Hawai‘i about Hawai‘i. Our books celebrate growing up in the Islands and features stories, characters, and places Hawai‘i's children will recognize and relate to. They also provide a colorful portrait of island life for family, friends, and visitors from outside the Islands who want to learn more about Hawai‘i's rich culture, history, and local life.
Our books are sold through Mutual Publishing, at independent bookstores and retail outlets across the state, and on Amazon. We publish board books, picture books, and coloring & activity books. Our new releases are posted below. This year, we're excited to publish the first title in our Wayfinders series of biographies for kids in kindergarten through second/third grade. The first title is about Patsy Mink, champion of Title IX and women's and children's rights. The second title introduces kids to Mary Kawena Pukui, a Hawaiian scholar who worked her whole life to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture and language. We're also releasing two new Hawaiian legend board books by Gabrielle Ahuli‘i: Lea Goddess of Canoe Builders and Kaiona Guides the Lost. Papa Says Shaka, written by elementary school student Zoe Leigh came out earlier this year and is a super fun, interactive book that kids will love to share with their families. And available just in time for summer is Hawai‘i's Joke Book for Kids—perfect for bored and traveling kids who want to bombard their friends and family with some new Hawai‘i-themed jokes. Last year, we released two new bilingual picture books that are in ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i and English--The Māui Stories and The Pele Stories; two new picture books featuring amazing artwork by local artists Jennifer Morgan--The Little Red Hen Hawaiian-Style and Scott Goto—Once Upon Hawai‘i; and a new board book by island-favorite illustrator, Tammy Yee--Wake Up Mermaids! We also have 500-piece jigsaw puzzles featuring local artists! |
