Judi Riley is a high school teacher from Maui's north shore, who hopes to help preserve Hawaiian culture & language, as well as the rare, unusual and endangered wildlife who call the islands home. Her books are for anyone who loves the islands.

Here's an excerpt from Joseph Bean's Maui Weekly Book Review:

"In a title-page introduction to 'When I am Quiet in Maui', Judi Riley writes, "Hawai'i is home to some of the most rare and endangered animals in the world. Open your senses and drift into a world of make-believe encounters with some unusual animal friends. But remember to tell your keiki that in real life it is important to admire wildlife from afar." Then, on the first page, the text simply asks, "When you are quiet, what do you hear?" What a foundation for a children's book."

"In 'When I am Quiet on Maui', she offers 16 full-page color drawings and matching single-sentences about what she hears when she is quiet. Granted, some of the things she hears will require a child's imagination: "in Upcountry Maui right before noon, I hear the purple blossoms bloom on the jacaranda tree. When I asked an eight-year-old if she thought she could hear jacarandas blooming or hibiscus welcoming tradewinds, she didn't hesitate for a second before replying, "I think I could try. Maybe I can be that quiet."€

"Each page that has an unusual word or a Hawaiian word is footnoted for readers not familiar with the terms, although most Maui kids will not need the notes. Then, at the end of the book, there is a glossary, also useful for the grandkids back on the Mainland, but not needed by most Maui keiki."

"....The book production is high-quality for the early-reader category, and the price is great. I'm thinking there may be a dozen kids I know who need 'When I am Quiet on Maui' for Christmas this year." Top Rated 5 out of 5 shakas ~ Joseph Bean, Maui Weekly
