Customer Reviews

A beautiful book

I bought this book because my daughters name is Hawaiian & I thought it would be a nice gift for her Christening. She is now 2 year old & loves this book! She calls it the "Keiki book"! She even recites "Come little Keiki, snuggle in my lap,listen to the ipu, thump tap..thumpa tap" It has the most beautiful illustrations & soothing words that will get everyone in the mood for a snuggle! Enjoy!

Award Winner!

"Excellence in a Picture Book" award-winner 2006 from the Children's Literature Council of Southern California! This book is beautiful, sweet, lush, and the lines and colors are flowing and musical. A visual treat.

Hush Little Baby

This beautifully illustrated book of Hawaii is a joy to loo upon and enjoy. It illustrates the beauty of Hawaii. Little Keiki (child) is shown to appreciate the magnificence of the Aloha way.

Absolutely lovely!

Great new author. This book is absolutely wonderful. The writing and paintings are excellent. Wherever you live, the story will immediately bring you and your child the tranquility of Hawaiian night. Lovely! I hope to see more children's books from Ms. Kono soon.

Hypnotic Hula Lullaby

A young girl cuddles in her mother's lap and falls asleep to the soothing sights and sounds of this Hawaiian lullaby. Extraordinary Hawaiian pictures and a soothing lullaby rhythm make this an excellent bedtime selection. Descriptive language and sensory details work with the illustrations to transport the reader to a Hawaiian dream land. See my other reviews at YABooksCentral
