Kapaemahu

Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, Dean Hamer, Joe Wilson
(Juvenile Picture Books - Ej Won)


Four individuals of dual male and female spirit bring their healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaii, where they are beloved for their gentle ways and miraculous cures and where they imbue four giant boulders with their powers. As time passes, these extraordinary individuals are forgotten, but their powers live on in the blessed stones. Based on an indigenous Hawaiian legend that was recently adapted into a short film. Recommended for ages 3–6.
