Publisher Description
You’re invited to a place where
elephants run loose in tall, waving
grass; where a kid can easily speak
mongoose; where friends see you
without any flaws; and where the
teacher thinks you’re the best
student yet.
Mynah birds sing and cocqui frogs
scream. A boar learns how to add two
plus two, and a girl catches her very
first wave.
So, lie on your back, drink in the sky,
and let your imagination roam
through the poetry of a child’s life in
Hawaii.
We can float on the ocean
and gaze at the sky
(that’s surf you hear,
not cars going by),
or imagine we’re hang-gliding
off a cliff.
It’s a perfect place to ask
“What if. . .?”
