About the Authors

It takes people with different talents to create a book. For Japanese Cooking for Kids, we had eight people. The woman with the knowledge, cooking teacher, Sumiko Nagasawa inspired us. Her student, Kimberly Ono, organized the recipes and wrote the text. A book needs art. Japanese painter, Masami Shiga, painted a beautiful picture for the cover. Cartoon artist, Miho Sakai Moyer, drew the black and white illustrations. We needed photographs to show the cooking step by step. Doug Wille, freelance photographer, took them. Six-year-old Amy Tomaro became our model for the photographs. Bob Ono stepped in to do the chopstick photo. He also tested all the food, giving each recipe a thumbs up or thumbs down. Of course we wanted a bilingual book. Writer and Japanese language teacher, Maria Wako, translated all the recipes to Japanese.
