Hula Lullaby

(3) PS A mother sings and cuddles her daughter as the two watch musicians and dancers perform a hula. Lush paintings of curvaceous figures and a quiet rhythmic text are both a lullaby and description of the Hawaiian tradition of the hula dance. The dark blues and greens of the illustrations, punctuated with bright tropical colors, convey both time of day and place.
