Poli`Ahu and the Breadfruit Trees: A Short Story of Rivalry, Friendship and Compassion
()
About this ebook
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 afternoons dream while visiting the Huallai region of the Big Island, Hawai`i. It is beautifully illustrated in full color to enhance the readers imagination.
An audio book version of this story is created specifically to complement the printed book and promote the Hawaiian 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.
