"Excellence in a Picture Book" award-winner 2006 from the Children's Literature Council of Southern California!

This book is beautiful, sweet, lush, and the lines and colors are flowing and musical. A visual treat.

Great new author. This book is absolutely wonderful. The writing and paintings are excellent. Wherever you live, the story will immediately bring you and your child the tranquility of Hawaiian night. Lovely! I hope to see more children's books from Ms. Kono soon.

A young girl cuddles in her mother's lap and falls asleep to the soothing sights and sounds of this Hawaiian lullaby.

Extraordinary Hawaiian pictures and a soothing lullaby rhythm make this an excellent bedtime selection. Descriptive language and sensory details work with the illustrations to transport the reader to a Hawaiian dream land.

This beautifully illustrated book of Hawaii is a joy to loo upon and enjoy. It illustrates the beauty of Hawaii. Little Keiki (child) is shown to appreciate the magnificence of the Aloha way.

I bought this book because my daughters name is Hawaiian & I thought it would be a nice gift for her Christening.
She is now 2 year old & loves this book! She calls it the "Keiki book"!
She even recites "Come little Keiki, snuggle in my lap,listen to the ipu, thump tap..thumpa tap"
It has the most beautiful illustrations & soothing words that will get everyone in the mood for a snuggle!
Enjoy!

Very nice flowing story with lovely illustrations. My children really like the book and I enjoy reading it to them. I've purchased several as gifts for others and they've been a hit with the recipients.

Ordered this Book to be used in a Public Childrens Program. The order went thru, like always, with no issues. We received the order confirmation, then the shipping confirmation then we got the message that the order was canceled by the seller for unknown reasons. We will never purchase from another seller other than when the order is being processed by Amazon itself. I know this sounds crazy for just a childrens book, but I think it is bad practice to acknowledge an order and then say it is shipped and cancel it. This review is only towards the seller of this book, not the Author or Publisher. Thank you.
