Dear Frances – Hawaii’s Treasure: “Eh, Aunty …”

Omoiyari . . . Think of others first and good karma will return to you. — Frances H. Kakugawa

Dear Readers,

It looks like Wordsworth made quite an impression with his inspiring column during my absence. Here is some feedback I received to his column.

• “Oh, Wordsworth and Frances, it’s hard to believe that such beauty and even reverence come from the minds of young children. These poems are well worth the effort of publication. I loved reading them as I know you did when you first encountered them.” — Grace (California)

• “Wordsworth had me in tears. The poems. Wow.” — Sandy (Hilo, Hawai‘i)

• “That was so perfect — to have Wordsworth featured in your column while he was working in Hawai‘i.” —El (Hilo, Hawai‘i)
