"Tutu Knows Best" is the heartwarming tale of a large Hawaiian family and their troubles living together in a tiny home. In this delightful story, tutu teaches them all a valuable lesson about appreciating their "hale" (home), no matter how small it is.

Author Lynne Wikoff began writing in 1978, first as a newspaper columnist writing on parenting issues, then working in corporate communications, marketing and public relations, all the while wishing she had time to write for children. In 2000, she decided she'd never have enough time and began her first children's book, "A Butterfly Tale," published in 2005 by Island Heritage. Lynne is a graduate of UCLA and earned a master's degree in social work at the University of Hawaii. Illustrator Laurel Meister is a graduate of Art Center College of Design and has been illustrating for children for many years. Through murals, theatre posters, periodicals and her own limited edition prints, Meister amuses the young, and young at heart, with her wit and whimsy. A wife and mother of two small children, she's never short on sources of inspiration as she watches her kids grow and change. Laurel works out of her home studio in the beautiful artists' enclave of Laguna Beach, California.
