Strenghening Relationships Through Kilo

Aloha, welcome to Kilo Books Hawaiʻi. In the Hawaiian language, Kilo, which means to observe is the central practice of our nature field activity guide books. Inspired by and made in Hawaiʻi, we provide families with young children an educational tool to connect with nature and the elements that sustain our lives. We value analog first over digital experiences and seek to build observational, experiential, and forecasting skills in children between the ages of three to ten years old.

NEW! My Surf Diorama Kit

Inspired by surfing Oʻahu's south shore as a teenager, My Surf Diorama celebrates the cultural practice and sport of Heʻenalu (Surfing). Surfing inherently brings together the practice of kilo while also learning about the diverse biodiversity on shore and below the surface. Learn about a few of Hawaiʻi's shorebirds and shells along with engineering your very own barrel wave! Available now! Surf into Our latest ʻohana activity!

Over the past 20 yrs I have had the opportunity to facilitate hundreds of enrichment programs for keiki.  My recent collaboration with Kilo Books Hawaiʻi, has been by far, one of the most enjoyable!  Kilo Books Hawaiʻi provided my program and students with custom, quality curriculum and instruction for a virtual, week-long, cultural, educational experience that exceeded our program expectations and captivated our students. Whether you are a parent, educator or Program Coordinator, if you are looking for a quality, teaching resource that incorporates ʻike Hawaiʻi and STEM, look no further than Kilo Books Hawaiʻi!
