Aloha, This is a writing project inspired by Hawaiian culture. In Hawai‘i we have many ‘?lelo no‘eau, Hawaiian proverbs or sayings, recorded by Aunty Mary Kawena Puku‘i. These proverbs can take us so far in life, inspiring us to be better. In books, they can be referred to as the theme or moral of the story.
