Publisher's Synopsis
Heroes of Hawai?i, written in English by Kimo Armitage and illustrated brilliantly in gouache-style by artist Solomon Nui Enos, uses many Hawaiian language sources to provide a balanced perspective of historic events. Many of the heroes such as Mo?ikeha, Ma?ilikukahi, Kukaniloko and others helped shape Hawai?i before Western contact. Their stories inspire the child and the child-within-us with their remarkable successes over uncertainty, upheavals, and injustices.
