Editorial Reviews

In Hawaiian, "aloha" means both hello and goodbye. Similarly, A Is for Aloha is both a spirited first alphabet book and a fitting conclusion of Sleeping Bear's Discover America series, which now covers all 50 states. Native Hawaiians U'ilani Goldsberry and Tammy Yee have crafted a charming ABC tribute to one of the most-visited places on Planet Earth.
