{"product_id":"9781493118922","title":"Tutu's Silvery Tub","description":"Tutu’s Silvery Tub contains some of the author’s earliest memories of growing up in Hawai‘i’s plantation era.  It pre-dates the time of the myriad labor saving devices available to the homemaker of today.  Tutu’s aluminum washtub served  multiple functions in her home.  It was a necessary item for doing the daily laundry; gathering fruit, coconuts, and vegetables from the garden; transported the day’s catch home from the sea; and held potting soil for transplanting yard flowers and vegetables.  It was also a  backyard wading pool; and when empty and upended, served as a Japanese taiko drum.  When Tutu passes away, her grandchildren were all in school.  He silvery tub was retired to on the bathhouse wall, a fond memory of days when people were inventive and used what was available for life’s daily activities.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181133349104,"sku":"9781493118922","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781493118922_p0.jpg?v=1763663070","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781493118922","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
