About the author

Tammy Yee is the author and/or illustrator of more than 40 children's books. She grew up in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi where she explored tide pools, swam in streams, and wrote and illustrated spooky stories her teachers politely read. After she graduated from college, she worked as a pediatric nurse.
Having children rekindled her love for picture books, so in 1994 she exchanged her stethoscope for a paintbrush, and she's been writing and illustrating ever since. In 2022, she was inducted into the Children's Literature of Hawaii's (CLH) Hall of Fame.

Reviews

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very cute board book that depicts various opposites in a Hawaiian setting. Our girls enjoyed reading this book, especially since it was written by Tammy Yee. Even though they are getting too old for these kinds of books, we still thought it was fun to read aloud.
