"Wonderful things do come in small covers. That is exactly what a new children's book is - a tiny treasure to be savored by people of all ages who love the sea and its creatures and/or lovely watercolor drawings. Welcome "Honu the Green Sea Turtle" to your Hawaiiana book collection and do share it with young and old. Accept the author's invitation to go below the ocean's surface for an up-close and personal encounter with the marvelous green turtles that frequent our environs."
Edie Anderson, The Dispatch

"Honu: The Green Sea Turtle is a fine, new book for early readers and the younger read-tome set, especially kids on Maui and in Hawaii since all the text is given both in English an Hawaiian."
Joseph Beach, The Maui Weekly

"Mensa Hawaii member and Maui Coordinator Barbara Berg has published a beautiful children's book called "Honu the Green Sea Turtle." It is amply illustratied with gorgeous full color watercolor painting of Honu and her activities and is written in both English and Hawaiian."

"The use of the big, bold and vibrantly colored illustration to hel tell the story of Honu is conducive to learning. Also, the translations that done in the Hawaiian language make your book one-of-a-kind.  It is a very informative and picturesque way of teaching our children of the life and welfare of our precious sea turtles, i  addition to exposing them to the Hawaiian language."
Department of Management, County of Maui, John C.Kulp

"Each of her charming watercolors is accompanied by anexplanatory sentence or two in English and Hawaiian. Her book is story-less, but it conveys thorugh word and picture a sense of place-this place, these Islands."
