Work Description
"Pua Polu, the Pretty Blue Hawaiian Flower" is a 32 page children's picture book for young readers. Pua Polu is a story about family and the cycles of life told from the point of view of a koali, a morning glory. Author and Hawaiian elder Nona Beamer blends her experience of the natural world of Hawai’i with songs and bits of information she has gathered through her life. Written in English with a Hawaiian translation, the book also includes a CD with slack key guitar music by Nona’s son, Keola Beamer, with read-aloud story by Nona. Read along as Aunty Nona tells the tender story of Pua Polu, the pretty blue Hawaiian morning glory who did not want to go to sleep.
