A Hawaiian favorite

I read this book to my son on a trip to Hawaii when he was 5. Now he is 21 and, to my surprise, still remembers every detail of this brief tale of the migration of baby and mother humpback whales. For years, when we were swimming together he would want to "play Kanani." This little book is great for parent/child bonding and awakening an interest in whales. I am not certain what element appealed to my son, but there is something which works very well. If you are visiting Hawaii or visiting a beach take this book along.

Kanani's Journey

This book was the very favorite book of my son for ages. He had it completely memorized at a very young age. It is about the migration of the Humpback whale from Hawaii to Alaska told from the vantage point of a baby whale, Kanani. It is about the whale's mother, her oceanic friends, and then about all the other types of whales which they encounter on their voyage. It tells also how heanenly the reward of the migration...the wonderful krill. Couldn't recommend this book more highly.
