Maui Slows the Sun

Part of a new series called Hawaiian Legends for Little Ones, Maui Slows the Sun introduces kids ages 2-5 to one of Hawaii’s best-known legends about M ui the demigod. In simple, poetic language, this origin story gives small kids a taste of Hawaii’s rich history of storytelling.

Three other titles in the series are: Hina, Pele Finds a Home, Maui Hooks the Islands, Hiiaka Battles the Wind, and Naupaka–all legends that will give kids a wider view of Hawaiian culture, history, and its natural world.
