Giving a boost to @maliamaunakea's Lei and the Fire Goddess, which launches June 6!
Because of her fiery tongue, Lei is cursed by the fire goddess Pele, and must fight through the tangle of Hawaiian legends made real in order to save her kidnapped best friend Kaipo. Epic adventure featuring vengeful goddesses, lava sled races, and a sarcastic bat.
PRH will donate books to kids in Hawaii based on the # of pre-orders. Order here: https://shop.twjbookshop.com/products/lei-and-the-fire-goddess to get a signed copy!
My favorite time of the day is when the morning sunlight streams though on my ti leaf plants. The ti leaf was super important to Hawaiians. They were made into capes to protect from rain, dried and made into sandals, and had many medicinal benefits. As a kid I learned how to make ti leaf skirts for hula performances and ti leaf lei to give. More recently I learned how to tie them as a natural wrapping paper for gifts.
Do you have a favorite house plant that brightens your day?
