| Publisher Description: Nani siempre ha soñado con ser una princesa. Cuando una princesa de la vida real de Hawái visita a su pueblo en Hilo, Nani se viste con sus mejores ropas. Pero, mientras observa a la Princesa Luka, quien ha venido a salvar al pueblo de Mauna Loa de la lava volcánica, Nani aprende que hay algo más que ser una princesa con ropas finas. Beth Greenway entrelaza la importancia de la amabilidad y la generosidad a través de esta increíble historia, basada en los eventos históricos de la erupción del Mauna Loa en la isla de Hawaí en los años 1880-1881. |

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 |
