In ancient times, Polynesians traveled across the vast Pacific Ocean without using navigational instruments; only natural signs and elements such as the sun, moon, stars, ocean swells, and land-based seabirds were their guides. In this lively book, Hoku and her puppy Poki use similar navigation techniques as they take little ones on an exciting night-time journey in her canoe, the Hokulani (Heavenly Star). Will the glow-in-the-dark stars and constellations help Hoku and Poki survive stormy waters, Shark Bay, and Shipwreck Sea? And what about those pirates? Sensitive text and vibrant illustrations make this a charming read-aloud for children and parents.
