Come, keiki, and I will show you treasure.
It is as bright as any star, more precious than gold or jewels.
My mother gave it to me.
Her father gave it to her.
This gift has been handed down
from generation to generation
since the olden days.
Today I’ll share it with you.
It is the treasure of hula.

 

With vivid whimsical illustrations and lyrical writing, Carla Golembe shares the history, meaning, and spirit of hula. The words and pictures pair together in much the same way that the chants and movements of hula complement each other, and the accompanying read-along CD further immerses readers and listeners in the joy of the dance.
