Hapa Haole

My parents met at a Japanese
restaurant in Athens, Greece and the
rest is history! I'm Japanese (mom) & Greek, Italian, Armenian & Egyptian (all from dad).
I always felt different growing
up so I am glad there is a
book now for other kids growing
up so they know they aren't &
that they should embrace their culture.
