The artwork tells the story in dramatic, compelling, and beautiful ways. Together, text and art will engage readers from the first page.""—starred, School Library Journal ""This beautifully illustrated picture book introduces the smallest and only uninhabited island, Kaho'olawe. Painted illustrations with bold colors, thick brushstrokes, and rich textures enhance three layers of text.""—Booklist
