Pele and the Rivers of Fire
When Pele, Hawaii's beloved volcano goddess, is sleeping, the islands are quiet, but when she wakes, prepare yourself for earthquakes, eruptions, and rivers of fire! This book introduces Pele and her siblings to young readers in an inspiring tale about personal strength and over coming adversity. Color-rich paint and paper collages, and playful easy-to-read text bring the story of Pele to life.
"This story recounts how Pele journeyed from Tahiti to the Hawaiian Islands, accompanied by her shark brother and followed by her sea-goddess sister, Namakaokaha'i. The sisters battled until Pele's death, but her spirit still inhabits Hawaiian volcanoes....The strength of this work lies with the dramatic collage, acrylic, and watercolor art, dominated by bold oranges and blues." -- Linda Perkins, Booklist
