Elegantly written, Namako: Sea Cucumber captures with startling accuracy the wisdom and confusion of a young girl growing up in two vastly different cultures.

-- Tom Williams, ForeWord

"McFerrin is adept at describing the concerns of women of various ethnic backgrounds, from different geographic regions of America, and showing that despite race, country of origin, or physical location, some feelings and difficulties are universal. The stories, written with an either puckish charm or airy elegance, depending on the subject matter, are simply just well-told."

-- Elizabeth Millard, Foreword
