Punky wasn’t always a brave explorer ready to spread the Aloha spirit. One day Grandma asks her to go to the market for the very important butter before the fresh banana bread comes out of the oven. Punky’s not sure, but on that trip is when she finds her courage and becomes Punky Aloha by helping others, even when she is unsure.
The bright, vibrant illustrations evoke the spirit of the islands and emphasize Punky’s adventure. I love that the author is a native Islander of Hawaii. I have island students who would be glad to see people like them on the pages of any book.
