Publisher Description:
Nani has always dreamed of being a princess. When a real Hawaiian princess comes to her hometown of Hilo, Nani dresses in her best clothes. But as she watches Princess Luka, who has come to save the town from Mauna Loa's volcanic lava flow, Nani learns that there is more to being a princess than fine clothes. Beth Greenway weaves the importance of kindness and generosity throughout this incredible story, based on the historical events of the 1880-1881 eruption of Mauna Loa on the Island of Hawai'i.

After college, she worked as a pediatric registered nurse. Having children rekindled her love for picture books, so in 1994 she exchanged her stethoscope for a paintbrush and has been illustrating ever since. Tammy has worked on more than thirty books including The Tsunami Quilt: Grandfather's Story, Lullaby Moon, and Baby Honu's Incredible Journey. Tammy lives in Oahu with her family, two rabbits, a chinchilla, a cockatiel, a cat and a burping bulldog named Roxy. In her spare time, she raises Monarch butterflies and creates paper projects for her origami website. Visit her website at www.tammyyee.com
