This charming narrative focuses on the life of a young Hawaiian girl named Auwae, providing a glimpse into the daily experiences, traditions, and cultural practices of the Hawaiian people during a time when they were coming into closer relations with the United States. The story follows Auwae as she explores her vibrant island life, from her joyful activities like crafting flower garlands, playing with her friends, and interacting with her family, to her thoughts on the changing world around her. The book captures her adventures, including a picnic with her family, surf-riding with friends, and a significant trip to the volcanic crater of Kilauea, where she learns about the island's rich history and mythology. Throughout the narrative, Auwae reflects on her identity, her interactions with nature, and the influence of American culture, all while exhibiting the joyful and carefree spirit of childhood.
