From the Author

 

I know how frustrating it can be to search for the right message for our kids in a difficult situation.  No books existed to make it easier to discuss with my child how to deal with adversity from a loving place.  Instead, my frequently well-intentioned actions too often turned into anger and stress, easily triggering the worst in me, not my best.  

 

The Aloha Adventures of Pono and Kuleana start with the book "Why is Pono not Pono Today?" This book and the special characters within were created to make challenging situations discussable in ways that everyone benefits.  At home, at school, within your community or place of work, understanding the important lessons in life create less anger and stress later on, especially when reinforced everywhere.   My own child had quite a few challenges growing up with frequent moves, childcare, parents with stressful occupations, divorce, and adolescence.  

 

Today, kids and everyone else are bombarded by many competing demands and additional sources of stress and reasons to get angry.  In this one book, you'll discover the kind of information and ways to lovingly engage others that you can't find on the web.  A single insight can make a huge difference in your and your child's relationships and approach to daily situations.  How important is this type of information and who else might benefit by learning more?   Help the children in your life bring out their best in all situations.  Do it for you, do it for your family, do it for our future.
