In “Little One,” by Patricia Leo, a mouse explores the ways that his world is different from that of the people around him through his interactions with the animals on the family farm. The book tells a tale of acceptance and finding peace through understanding and meditation.
“The Moon Princess of Emne River Lotus” tells the gentle story of celebrated womanhood and the rites of passage for a young girl, following Rori as she celebrates the beginning of her moon cycle with the woman of the famous Celtic Isle of Emne.
The charming children’s tale, “Mr. Kiko Searches for Aloha,” by Marion Louise, carries a message about inclusivity and acceptance while highlighting the values of individual differences. Told through the tale of a coqui frog’s arrival in Hawaii, it deals with cultural differences, rejections and a newcomer seeking acceptance.
Basically Book is located at 160 Kamehameha Avenue. The event is free.
