Hinavai: And the Mana of the Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249421144)

In the green mountains of Tahiti, where waterfalls sing and the moon watches over the sea, lives a girl who feels small.

Hinavai's name means Water of Hina-but she does not yet feel like shining water.

When she struggles in the waves and begins to doubt herself, she journeys into the sacred valley of the Marae, where ancestors once prayed for courage. There, she meets a tiny golden Moʻo-a guardian of hidden strength-who teaches her a quiet truth about mana.

Inspired by Tahitian legend and Polynesian culture, Hinavai and the Mana of the Heart is a beautifully illustrated children's story about resilience, courage, and discovering the strength that already lives within.

Perfect for readers ages 4-8 and families seeking multicultural stories rooted in heritage and empowerment.
