Maile and the Huli Hula Chicken
Text by Mary Braffet, illustrations by Holly Braffet
Maile and her cousin, Lani, practice their hula for the big baby lü‘au. In the middle of their dance, a stray chicken joins them, running around and around until flying and landing right on top of Maile’s head.
Will the chicken join their hula when they perform for family and friends at the lü‘au?
