The Story of Mama and Pele: A Magical Journey Along the Wai'anae Coast

Join Mama and her son on a heartwarming and enchanting adventure along the beautiful Wai'anae coast of Oahu. One sunny afternoon, as Mama and her son was headed to the beach they encounter a mysterious kupuna (elder) with flowing white hair, hitchhiking along the road. They offer her a ride, and as they journey together, the wise old woman shares captivating stories of ancient Hawaiians, the rich history of the land, and the legends whispered through generations. Mama's son listens, mesmerized, as the kupuna weaves tales of powerful chiefs, mischievous spirits, and the deep connection between the people and the land.

But this is no ordinary hitchhiker. When they reach her destination, a seemingly remote and empty stretch of road, the kupuna vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a white dog where she once stood. A gasp escapes Mama's lips: "Oh, Tutu Pele!"

"The Story of Mama and Pele" is a magical tale that will transport readers to the heart of Hawaiian culture, where ancient legends come alive and the spirit of Pele, the volcano goddess, still travels. Perfect for readers of all ages, especially keiki (children) aged 8-12, this book will fill your heart with the aloha spirit and leave you wondering about the magic that surrounds us.
