Colorful Hawaiʻi: A fun way to learn about colors and words in Hawaiian and English

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.
