ABOUT US

Japanese American Stories as Children’s Books

We’re Chris and Lisa, the mother-daughter-in-law duo sharing the unbique stories of Japanese Americans in the form of children’s books 🌈😊✍️

Join us as we share iconic imagery, core values, and cultural traditions that are familiar within our community but too often absent from mainstream discussions.

Want to know more? Start with the backstory of our very own name, Mikan Press 🍊
