(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Young Princesses around the World series. Illustrated by Nonna Aleshina. In 1846, Lydia, later known as Queen Liliuokalani, looks for a special gift for the king to celebrate Restoration Day, Hawaii's return to self-rule after the British departure. By writing down traditional songs, she pleases the king and fellow Hawaiians who are chafing under America's influence. Muddy illustrations weigh down this informative (though undocumented) glimpse at Hawaiian history. Timeline. Glos.
