Ohana Means Family

Written by Ilima Loomis

Narrated by Ilima Loomis, Lois Whitney and Hokuao Pellegrino

AudioFile Earphones Award "Love for the traditions and culture of the Hawaiian people is evident in this audiobook, which includes the voices of three narrators from the Aloha State. Traditional music, sound effects of laughter and lapping waves, and Hawaiian words transport listeners to the countryside as a family prepares the poi for a traditional farm-to-table luau. ... The authentic dialect of each narrator lifts the audiobook off the printed page." AudioFile Magazine
