Her first book, The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book has won numerous awards and is used as a supplementary textbook in classrooms across the country.

About the book:
Who lives in the sea? Ocean Animals of Hawaii is a repetitive rhyming story about ocean animals that encourages early reading skills and answers the burning questions that the inquisitive minds of young children tend to ask about the world around them. This book includes children's favorite ocean animals like whales, dolphins, sharks, and starfish, but also introduces some more unusual species like the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal, which is only seen in Hawaii. This book is written for children ages 2-6.

Who Lives in the Sea? Ocean Animals of Hawaii has also just been released in ebook format for the Amazon Kindle. Who Lives in the Sea? and the rest of Mira’s books including her Science and Nature for Young Readers series are all available on Amazon.
