"Discover the story of the smallest Hawaiian island, a place sacred to Native Hawaiians, from its formation long ago to its present-day restoration as a protected site. A remarkable narrative accompanied by stunning illustrations"-- Provided by publisher.
"In the middle of the great Pacific Ocean is a little island. Her name is Kanaloa Kaho'olawe. Discover the story of an island sacred to Native Hawaiians. Beginning with her birth in a volcanic eruption, Kaho'olawe thrives surrounded by animals on land and in the sea. When Polynesian voyagers arrive and begin to raise their families there, the island is happy. As the years pass, invasive goats devastate the ecosystem, and during World War II and the decades that follow, the US military claims the island for target practice. Kaho'olawe is hurt. Yet activists never give up on the island, and they finally succeed in reclaiming her. Kaho'olawe endures. Author Kamalani Hurley and illustrator Harinani Orme present the remarkable story of a tiny island, highlighting hope, resilience, and aloha 'āina (deep love of the land)" -- Jacket flap.
