Kohola King of the Whales
Winner of the 2014 Ka Palapala Po'okela Excellence in Children's Literature Award presented by the Hawaii Book Publishers Association. As winner of the award, Kohola, King of the Whales represents the cream of the crop for the children's book industry.
In March of 2012, the author had an amazing encounter with Kohola and his mother and father off the coast of O'ahu. Well, maybe it wasn't Kohola, but it sure looked like him with slightly shorter fins. And who knows? Maybe that young whale will grow up to be the next King of the Whales. You will be as thrilled as Kekela when you turn the pages of this beautiful Hawaiian legend. Swim along with young Kohola as he explores the sunny waters of the Pacific Ocean and north to the dangerous seas of Canada and Alaska. See how he overcomes the rejection and loneliness of being a little different, and how he learns to use his special skills to help those around him. The story of Kohola offers a timeless lesson for young and old alike.

I loved this book because it is not only filled with an adorable story and pictures to match, but it is educational towards whales and how they live in the ocean. Also, the story is a national hawaiian tale that is very well known over in hawaii. I can't get enough of this book because the story is just so sweet beautiful to read and listen to. I definitely would want to use this in my future classroom as a good book to read to my class.
