A little girl is born who shares the Hawaii island's heartbeat. From the hula, she learned the stories and traditions of her people. From the hula, she learned how the land began, how the plant life and creatures came, and how she must care for her earth. From the hula, she learned about the winds, treks, voyages, and journeys of her people. She learned about the heroes and trials. When she grew up, what did she discover within herself? 

Aloha Everything is a poetic magical journey through the rich Hawaiian culture. I enjoyed learning about their lore and deep love of their beautiful Islands. Gorgeous colorful illustrations help us envision this thoughtful exploration. I liked the pronunciation guide and glossary included at the end of the book.
