Book excerpt: Part of a new series called Hawaiian Legends for Little Ones, Hiiaka Battles the Wind introduces kids ages 2-5 to one of Hawaii's legends about Hiiaka, Pele's sister. In simple, poetic language, this origin story gives small kids a taste of Hawaii's rich history of storytelling. Three other titles in the series are: Hina, Pele Finds a Home, Maui Slows the Sun, Maui Hooks the Islands, and Naupaka--all legends that will give kids a wider view of Hawaiian culture, history, and its natural world.
