Preserving Hawaiian Culture

When printing publications such as the "Where I Live" series, the in-plant staff's familiarity with Hawaiian culture, geography and flora plays a big part in ensuring the books are graphically accurate.

"For instance, accuracy in floral colors, skin tones and correct illustration of ethnicity are essential when creating a book of this type," Silva says. "If elements such as these are inaccurate, the books and the educators would not be successful."
