Poki Learns Aloha

By Ken Mika'ele

On the sunny shores of O'ahu, a small sand crab is about to discover what Aloha really means.

Poki has found the most beautiful shell he's ever seen - pink, perfect, and all his own. But when he meets a baby sea turtle who's lost and can't find her way home, Poki faces a choice that will change everything.

Poki Learns Aloha is a gentle, beautifully illustrated story about love, sacrifice, and giving without expecting anything in return - rooted in the Hawaiian spirit of Aloha and the Biblical call to "love one another" (John 13:34).

With vibrant island artwork and a rhythm perfect for read-aloud time, this story opens the door for meaningful conversations between parents and children about kindness, generosity, and what it really costs to choose love.

Includes:

A heartfelt, gentle story for ages 3-8A "Talk About It" discussion guide for familiesAn introduction to Hawaiian values through Poki and his friends
