In the 15th Century, four Mahu sail from Tahiti to Hawaii and share their gifts of science and healing with the people of Waikiki. The islanders return this gift with a monument of four boulders in their honor, which the Mahu imbue with healing powers before disappearing.
As time passes, foreigners inhabit the island and the once sacred stones are forgotten until the 1960s. Though the true story of these stones was not fully recovered, the power of the Mahu still calls out to those who pass by them at Waikiki Beach today.
With illuminating words and stunning illustrations by Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, Dean Hamer, Joe Wilson, and Daniel Sousa, KAPAEMAHU is a monument to an Indigenous Hawaiian legend and a classic in the making.

LGBTQ+ THEMES EXPANDING GENDER: The visiting healers are neither male or female but a mixture of both (mahu) in mind, heart, and spirit and provide much needed NON-BINARY HISTORY.
INDIGENOUS HEALING PRACTICES: Pays homage to undercelebrated Indigenous ways of healing and science.
Encourages readers to HONOR THE HISTORY OF THE LAND on which they reside by subtly hinting at how colonization erases culture. The stones were buried underneath a bowling alley in the 1940s before being recovered in the 1960s.
LUSH, CINEMATIC ILLUSTRATION based on the film stills, which incorporate traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian art patterns.
ALREADY LOVED BY CHILDREN: The short film was nominated Best Children's Film at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and won the Children's Jury Award from The Chicago International Children's Film Festival.
