Join us for Mo'olelo Moments with 'Anakē Kalei! Kalei was born and raised in Wai'anae, Hawai'i and resides in Des Moines, Washington. 'Anakē Kalei enjoys vibrant storytelling as a means to revitalize children's understanding of her Hawaiian homeland and its deep history. How did Hopoe bravely face her demise? Why did Maui bring light to the world? Who was our first ancestor? And what, from this, has taught us about who we are? These are the wisdoms hidden amidst stories of fire and ice and of dragons and sharks, across oceans and among mountaintops. E ho’olohe mai kākou!
