Moon Mangoes

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathleen Peterson. Anu asks her mother what would happen if she ate too many mangoes and changed into a mango tree, a kolohe 'ilio (dog) who gets into mischief, or a wise honu (tortoise). The Hawaiian words are explained in context or by the paintings, in textured tropical colors, which are stronger than the sentimental text.
