*Features* Cover Type: Hard Cover Published by: World Wide Dist Ltd May 1976 ISBN 10 Number: 9998718880 ISBN 13 Number: 978-9998718883 *Reader Reviews* This review is from: A child's history of Hawaii (An Island heritage book) In "A Note to the Reader", the editors say, "In the words and pictures of Hawaiian children, this unique book is a living history of our islands. To achieve it, we asked our children to paint or write about their Hawaii; what they understand about how Hawaii came to be". Compiled from more than six thousand entries, it's a warm and wonderful selection of stories, drawings and paintings. The images are fresh and imaginitive, starting with a blazing pink and orange sun over a turbulent ocean..."In the middle of the Pacific Ocean there was nothing. Hawaiian people were not born yet. If we were born, what would we stand on ?". There are two fabulous paintings depicting the volcanic activity that was the beginning of the islands, describes how they became populated, its kings and queens, the missionaries, etc. In the last chapter, there is a rather gloomy prediction of "what Hawaii will be like" (in 2000), with highways, bridges, and "super canoes". There are two pages that list the names of the 253 children who contributed to this book, but the individual pictures and stories are not credited. Published nearly thirty years ago, it makes one wonder what happened to these creative children, and if they are still expressing themselves with as much color, wit, and sincerity.
