Book Guide

On the islands of Hawaii people of many races and religions live together in harmony, sharing customs and traditions.

Louise and Richard Floethe describe for young readers the country and its people—at work in the sugar and pineapple fields, on coffee plantations and in the busy seaports—and at play, enjoying festivals and surfing in the ocean.

In this introduction to our fiftieth state the Floethes have captured the special feeling of Hawaii—the spirit of aloha.
