"Pele and Hi'iaka is a timeless tale of passion, betrayal, helaing and reconciliation.  One of Hawaiian mythology's greatest epics is freshly interpreted by Dietrich Varez, one of Hawai'i's most celebrated artists.  The story of Pele, goddess of Hawai'i's volcanoes, and her youngest sister, Hi'iakaikapoliopele is retold and lavishly illustrated with the artist's iconic block prints.  The sensitive visual interpretation and simplified text honor the rich mythology passed through Hawaiian oral tradition.  This picture-book style presentation offers a fresh visual tribute to these enduring mythical figures with the turning of each page."
