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. From Kaho'olawe's birth in a volcanic eruption and the arrival of Polynesian voyageurs to the island's use for target practice during World War II and the ensuing protests to reclaim it, this picture book covers a vast history.
Author Kamalani Hurley and illustrator Harinani Orme present the remarkable story of the smallest Hawaiian island, encompassing loss and erasure, sacrifice and dedication, and ultimately restoration and resilience.---from the publisher
