\"\"*STARRED REVIEW<\/strong>
\nA solemn drumbeat welcomes listeners to discover the Kapaemahu, four ancient Tahitian healers of Hawaii. Neither male nor female, \u201cthey were mahu\u2014a mixture of both in mind, heart, and spirit.\u201d The people built a monument in gratitude, but the \u201cfour great boulders\u201d were eventually lost to U.S. colonialism and destructive tourism. When the stones were recovered, their crucial provenance was erased. This book gorgeously reclaims the monument\u2019s origins.<\/p>\n

Native Hawaiian Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, who is also mahu, reverently embodies the bilingual text, fluently narrating between Olelo Niihau and English over a richly enhancing background soundtrack. Olelo Niihau, she explains, is \u201cthe only uninterrupted form of Hawaiian in continuous communal use since prior to the arrival of foreigners.\u201d Also appended is a glossary and, surprisingly, well-deserved credit \u00adcitation for \u201cmusic and sound effects by Kanaka Pakipika.\u201d<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>: Every library should consider creating or augmenting sparse \u00adPacific Islander collections with this work.<\/p>\n
