Hawaiian Myths of Earth, Sea, and Sky - Ancient Hawaiian Legends Book for Nature Lovers | Perfect for Bedtime Stories, Cultural Studies & Hawaiian History Enthusiasts

When the storytellers of ancient Hawaiʻi gathered by the light of candlenut torches, they told tales that explained the world around them. These tales described how the gods created the earth and its life, how the stars were created, and why the days are longer in summer.

From this rich body of mythology, author Vivian Thompson has drawn twelve myths. She retells them with the true flavor and simplicity of the storytellers of long ago. Thompson's words are accompanied by the illustrations of Hawaiʻi artist Marilyn Kahalewai, who has captured the delight and drama of the ancient tales.
