On Saturday February 8, 2025, we held an epic book launch pāʻina — party. Our host was the wonderful Native Books, a Native Hawaiian owned bookshop located in the Historic Chinatown District in Honolulu. Thank to owner Maile Meyer and her staff, especially Kūakoloa Robinson, the event was magical. The space was filled with so much aloha, thanks to our many family and friends.
Illustrator Harinani Orme and I are so thankful for all of your support. We are thrilled that more kids will learn the true story of Kahoʻolawe and how the little island and her people continue to thrive today. Please enjoy these photos of the event. Mahalo nui!
