A lovely, unique book

It's nice to have something uncommon on the bookshelf. This Hawaiian folktale is sumptuously illustrated and magically re-told. The story enlivens the imagination, and you won't be able to stop looking at the warm, textured art. I loved it.

Beautiful Hawaiian Tale

Traveling to Kauai many times and driving by Nounou mountains along the coast is so interesting to read this children book. Beautifully illustrated and a cute story. If you love Kauai you will love this book. A must read to all children! Aloha!
