The best part of happiness is that it can be shared without ever running out. I believe that the potential for the greatest positive changes lies in our ability to share our blessings with others. Lahela and Ann have shared what they have to truly make the world a better place in which to live. I am so inspired by their work and excited to share it with my students. The impact it will have will ripple through the lives of all who receive their message. I have taught young children for 24 years and am saddened at the tragedy and hardships so many children face in their young lives. Being able to share the positive words from this lovely book will brighten the lives of my students and provide them with the inspiration they need to lead happy lives. With so much focus on testing and standards in education these days, this book will help balance what is needed most. It will address the whole child, their character, their heart and it will be done in a unique way. Lahela, having been raised on the beautiful island of Kauai, provides insight into good character through a culturally relevant, Hawaiian perspective. You will learn about what true ‘Aloha’ really is.
