Watch the sun rise in Waikiki... see the boats bob in Kaneohe Bay... and settle into a sunset on O‘ahu’s epic North Shore.
Meet a sleepy monk seal, a mysterious pueo (poo-ay-oh, Hawaiian short-eared owl), a pikake (pee-kah-kay, peacock) and an extinct O‘o (oh-oh, honeycreeper).
Did you know... newborn monk seals have fuzzy, black, woolly coats?
Did you know... every year, Monk seals and Elephant seals molt (they shed their skin like a snake)?
Did you know... right now, fewer than 1,200 Hawaiian Monk Seals exist?

Just like the Maui book, O‘ahu's quiet Tiki Tale makes it easy to learn Hawaiian words.
Footnotes and a glossary cover definitions, and include phonetic spelling (for pronunciation) plus Hawaiian language diacritical marks.
Don't forget to look for the hidden words in Riley's colorful illustrations.
Some more fun facts about Hawai‘i... you won’t find them in Riley’s books, but since you’ve made it this far...we figure you really must be interested in learning more about the islands...
