Native Books

Native Books is a Hawaiʻi bookstore specializing in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander literature, from picture books and YA novels to language resources and scholarly works. As an Indigenous-centered space, it prioritizes local authors and stories that reflect island histories, cultures, and contemporary life. Families can use it to find children’s books, curriculum tie-ins, and hard-to-find titles that likely won’t show up at mainstream chains. While you’ll pay regular book prices plus shipping, supporting Native Books means your book budget also supports Indigenous creators and community.
