"Kapaemahu" by Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu is a beautifully illustrated children's book that explores the legend of four ancient Hawaiian healing stones. These stones are said to possess the spirits of two male and two female shamans, who brought healing and knowledge to the islands. The story weaves together elements of Hawaiian culture and spirituality, emphasizing the importance of gender fluidity and respect for all identities. Through lyrical language and vibrant artwork, readers are introduced to the rich legacy of these shamans and the transformative power of compassion and love. The narrative honors the connection between past and present, celebrating diversity within community. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
