In this fictional account of the discovery of the Hawai-ian Islands, James Rumford takes us back more than fifteen hundred years to meet five Polynesian brothers who are about to explore a new world. After a long journey to their new home, the young- est brother, Manu, soon discovers what appears to be a wounded dog on the beach. But it is like no dog he or his brothers has ever seen before--it has flippers for legs, a fish's tail, and the body of a dolphin! Gentle Manu nurses this strange animal back to health, and a bond of friendship and aloha embraces them and protects them when danger comes. Throughout this sequel to The Island-below-the-Star, Rumford's vibrant watercolors show us the unique life forms that have evolved in the Hawaiian Islands: birds, plants, and fish that exist nowhere else on earth. And with this visual story comes an important reminder: to care for Hawai`i and for our Island Earth as well.
