The Legend of the Kukui Nut

When Chief Makua sends little Melika to the dark island of Honua with an oil lamp and a bag of kukui nuts, she must find her way home using a sacred map. Along the way she discovers that her lamp burns brighter every time she cracks open a kukui nut to help someone in need. A gentle Hawaiian-flavored allegory of faith, service, scripture, and the light we carry in our hearts.

• A Hawaiian-flavored allegory that teaches the parable of the ten virgins to young children—your lamp burns brighter every time you serve.
• Gorgeously illustrated with island imagery and a glossary of Hawaiian words that decode the gospel symbols.
• Perfect baptism or Primary gift: light, oil, and the 'map' home make abstract gospel ideas concrete for little ones.
• A gentle reminder that Heaven (Lani) and Earth (Honua) are the same place—you just need the right vantage point.

““These represent the light you gave to others and the light you kept in your hearts.””

Perfect for an LDS parent who wants a beautifully illustrated picture book to teach young children about sharing their light through service and following the scriptures.
