Coles Our Sacred Mountain: An Ode to Mauna Kea at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
From Ilima Todd and Shar Tuiasoa ( Punky Aloha ) comes a powerful picture book about the battle between the sacred and the scientific happening on Native Hawaiians' beloved space, Mauna Kea. Perfect for fans of We Are Water Protectors . Mauna Kea stands tall on the island of Hawai'i. It is the center of origin, spirituality, and everyday life for those who call the island chain their home.
The mountain is also ideal for science, the exploration of space.
But when outsiders try to build a telescope so large it threatens the integrity of the natives’ home, people from all over the globe stand tall and peacefully defend that which is sacred.
Inspired by the 2019 protests against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope, O'ahu native Ilima Todd pens a love letter to Mauna Kea and a rallying cry to the world to save it. With empowering and vibrant illustrations by Polynesian illustrator Shar Tuiasoa, Our Sacred Mountain centers young people as the change-makers who can protect the earth we share.
Teaches Real History : A narrative nonfiction book that will teach little ones about an important moment in Hawaiian history that might otherwise be forgotten by the mainland.
Culturally Relevant: Teaches children about other cultures, emphasizes young people as the changemakers, and includes a glossary of Hawaiian terms in the back!
Perfect for Earth Day : Reminds us of the importance of standing up for our environment.
