Readers are taken on a guessing-game tour of tide pool residents, from the ‘opihi (limpet) to the hā‘ue‘ue (pencil urchin). He Iʻa Wau features close-up, abstract illustrations of i‘a on one page and then allows young readers to identify the sea creatures on the next page. This bilingual “flip-over” book tells the same story in English and ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i.
This story was written and illustrated by students of Kanu o ka ‘Āina New Century Public Charter School, located in rural Waimea in the Kohala district of Hawai‘i Island. Originally printed in 2005, the revised edition also features an updated cover design.
Hardcover. 11 x 8.25". 64 pp.
