Puanani and the Volcano Jo — Ann Jeffries

Puanani and the Volcano is about the Kilauea eruption on the Big Island of Hawaii and how it affected an elementary school girl. It is an encouraging and meaningful story showing how Puanani turned her feelings of helplessness about the lava flowing into the ocean into a dogged determination to save as much sea life as possible—especially the turtles. Her persistence inspires her family and canoe club to help her in her quest to make the beaches and shorelines a cleaner and safer place for the animals and people who love them.
