The wonderful folks at Partners in Development Foundation are holding a quick little sweepstakes where the winner receives a free copy of their charming keiki picture book Kai the ‘Opihi Gets the Point.
From the contest, here is a snippet of what the book is about:
In this story of adventure, bravery, and wisdom, little Kai the ‘Opihi (a limpet in English), struggles with his fear of the ocean and the resulting fact that his shell is flat and not pointy and muscular like all the other ‘opihi. His friends – the eel, turtle, octopus, bird and crab – all try to give Kai solutions to his problem, but it is finally Tūtū ‘Opihi, Kai’s grandmother; who gives him the needed insight and courage to persevere and overcome his dilemma. Based on real situations in nature, Kai also models for our children the Hawaiian value of “ho’omau,” or perseverance. Kai is the first in our series, “Kai and Friends” which is written by Gail Omoto and Jan and Judy Dill and illustrated by Garrett Omoto. This book comes with a read along CD, Narrated by Nina Keali’iwahamana.
