Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Uncle Kawaiola’s Dream: A Hawaiian Story is a narrative about a young Hawaiian’s passion to restore lo‘i kalo (taro patches) on his great grandfather Nahau’s ‘äina (land). Uncle Kawaiola tells his dream story to his young niece Naupaka and nephew Ho‘äla. The story focuses both on Uncle Kawaiola’s passion to restore lo‘i kalo, and on the importance of perpetuating a Hawaiian way of life that focuses on cultural values and traditions. The oil paintings that accompany the story illustrate central ideas and feelings about Uncle Kawaiola’s desire to fulfill his dream “in small steps,” as his mentor Kalima advises.Uncle Kawaiola’s Dream stresses the value of having goals. Equally important, the story represents the strengths that come from working together toward fulfilling those goals.A Glossary of Hawaiian words and A Study Guide for Understanding and Learning can be found at the end of the book. They are included to help readers understand the story and learn more about Hawaiians from the past and present.
