Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3-A young Hawaiian girl looks forward to the annual Lei Day contest and to helping her grandmother win this year. However, when she goes into the kitchen for breakfast, she learns that Tutu is in the hospital with a heart ailment. As the woman's health does not seem to improve, Nahoa devises a plan to cheer her up by taking supplies to make a lei. Sure enough, this project does seem to help, and soon the whole family is attending Lei Day festivities and witnessing Tutu's delight at winning the competition. This picture book relies on heavy use of the Hawaiian language, which will deter most readers in spite of the glossary. An introductory note on the custom of Lei Day and instructions for making one are included. The soft, pastel, warm-hued illustrations lend a nice tropical ambiance, although they're a bit bland and flat in depicting characters' faces. Strictly for one-on-one sharing for a specialized audience or for collections needing books on Hawaiian culture.

From Booklist

Ages 6^-8. Nahoa is looking forward to helping her grandmother Tutu make a special lei for Honolulu's Lei Day Festival when the older woman is suddenly hospitalized. Nahoa is disappointed; she just knew this year they'd win the grand prize, but more than that she's terribly worried about her beloved Tutu, who's hooked up to machines and growing weaker each day. Nahoa knows the perfect way to brighten Tutu's spirits is to bring her the Lei Day flowers. Against her parents' wishes, the two work to create their masterpiece, filling the hospital room with the sweet fragrance of flowers. Although the story is slight and predictable--Tutu recovers in time to make the festival, and their lei wins the prize--there's plenty to offer children about Hawaii's culture. The detailed illustrations capture the color and texture of the setting. An incisive foreword explains the origins of the Lei Day Festival and describes the various special events--the music, the hula dances, and the kapa cloth-making exhibits, as well as the lei competition and the princess pageant. Included are a glossary of 21 Hawaiian words used in the story and complete instructions for making a paper lei. Shelley Townsend-Hudson
