Explore beautiful Hawaiʻi with this fun book kids will ask to read and sing over and over again. Learn Hawaiian colors and words in the order of the well-known song taught to Hawaiʻi's children: ʻulaʻula, melemele, poni, polū, ʻeleʻele, ʻākala, ʻalani, keʻokeʻo, ʻāhinahina, ʻōmaʻomaʻo...mākuʻe! Each color connects to a unique part of the islands: ʻiʻiwi (scarlet honeycreeper bird), lā (sun), kalo (taro), naiʻa (spinner dolphins), nā hōku (stars), Pulelehua (Kamehameha butterfly), mauna (mountain), moana (ocean), moʻo (gecko), and more.
A sing-a-long video accompanies the book that will help keep kids engaged and learn the proper pronunciation: https://hikinadesigns.com/videos
