Maui Hooks the Islands

Part of a new series called Hawaiian Legends for Little Ones, Māui Hooks the Islands introduces kids ages 0-4 to one of Hawai‘i’s best-known legends about Māui the demigod who fished up the Hawaiian islands using a magic fishing hook.

In simple, poetic language, this origin story gives small kids a taste of Hawai‘i’s rich history of storytelling.

Three other titles in the series are: Hina, Pele Finds a Home, and Naupaka—all legends that will give kids a wider view of Hawaiian culture, history, and its natural world.
