Inspired by the legendary Hawai ian snow goddess Poli ahu, the fiery volcano goddess Pele, and the breadfruits, ulu, that have always played a key role in Polynesian daily living, this is a story of friendship, compassion, and an uncommon display of appreciation for the power that renews and creates the land, sustaining life for generations. Poli ahu and Pele, celebrated archrivals over hundreds of years, have become best friends and work harmoniously to protect and bring prosperity to their beloved people of Hawai i. This spectacular story was born from a pleasant afternoon's dream while visiting the Hualālai region of the Big Island, Hawai i. It is beautifully illustrated in full color to enhance the reader's imagination. An audio book version of this story is created specifically to complement the printed book and promote the Hawaiˋian tradition of storytelling. Wonderfully narrated by Teri Manawale a Corpuz, the audio book reminds us of those breezy summer evenings under the starry night sky, when we gathered at the knees of our mothers and grandmothers to hear mystical stories of a far away land. | Poli`ahu and the Breadfruit Trees by Jacqueline Kim, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
