6/20/2023 0 Comments Ho'onani by Heather GaleHere was me, an unknown in the industry, asking to write a picture book version of a documentary that was winning awards around the world! It was such a long shot of a chance that I may as well have signed up for a flight to space. That’s when I reached out to the producers. The very next day, I knew this story was extra special and that this had to also become a picture book. We get a clear sense that Ho’onani knows just who she is, and what she is capable of. HG: If you can believe it, Ho’onani inspired me to write her story! From the beginning of the documentary, A Place in the Middle, I noticed Ho’onani understood and felt her inner strength and the love and respect within her family felt true and honest. What inspired the telling (or re-telling) of Ho’onani: Hula Warrior?
