With vivid, whimsical illustrations and lyrical writing, Carla Golembe shares the history, meaning, and spirit of hula. The words and pictures pair together in much the same way that the chants and movements of hula complement each other, and the accompanying read-along CD further immerses readers and listeners in the joy of the dance.

A delightful introduction to other cultures and celebrations,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of Hula (Hardcover)
Carla Golembe's The Story Of Hula is a picturebook with a narrative audio CD all about the meaning and expression of the Hawaiian hula dance. Teaching young people about the origins and symbolic values behind traditional hula costume, and the power of the story behind the dance that is handed down through generations, The Story Of Hula is a delightful introduction to other cultures and celebrations. Simple color illustrations, a glossary of Hawaiian terms and a final page of historic notes round out this enjoyable and educational volume.

Delightful!,

This review is from: The Story of Hula (Hardcover)
This is a delightfully presented book. It is brilliantly illustrated with Golembe's signature guache paintings. She studied with a hula group in the DC area for over a year, so the information, while easy to read, is dead on in accuracy. A one page over-view of the history of hula and another one page of glossary round out this great book. AND you get a C/D with it.
