Alana and the Honu is a heartwarming island tale about compassion, responsibility, and the lasting bond between a young girl and a sea turtle she once saved.

Six-year-old Alana lives near Kailua Beach on O'ahu. When she discovers a baby Honu too weak to survive on its own, she and her mom care for it with love, guided by the Hawaiian values of mālama 'āina and kuleana. Eventually, they return it to the sea.

Years later, the ocean gives back in a way Alana never imagined.

Rooted in Native Hawaiian values and inspired by real island life, Alana and the Honu celebrates nature, family, and the power of kindness returned. Perfect for early readers, classrooms, and families everywhere.

Review: A beautiful, heartfelt story that teaches children the values of responsibility, love, and respect for nature. Perfect for classrooms and bedtime alike. J J Bernardo

Alana and the Honu is perfect for early readers, young families, and classrooms alike, inviting us to nurture the things we love, and to trust in the ocean's gentle memory.
