About the author
My mother is a Samoan chief from Apia, Samoa, and my Indian father is from Suva, Fiji, but my sisters and I were born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Aside from a few bad words and knowing when we were in real trouble with our mother, we never fully learned the Samoan language. And being raised in the 1980s, we could never find any Samoan language books that could help us learn the basics.
So now that I am a wife and mother to three children under the age of five, I finally made the book that I wish I had as a child. "Over 100 First Samoan Words" is a beautifully illustrated book that teaches both children and adults the Samoan and English words for everyday items. With over 50 pages, this book is a wonderful introduction to the beautiful Samoan world.
