Description: The story of Pele and Hi'iaka is one of the great epics of Hawaiian mythology. Artist Dietrich Varez has brought a complex story to new readers through simplified text and his iconic block print art. This new visual interpretation presents a fresh vision of the ancient tale, while honoring the rich mythology passed down through Hawaiian oral tradition. Presented in a picture-book style, each page offers an exquisite image accompanied by a brief narrative. Pele & Hi'iaka features never-before-published art from Varez, one of Hawai‘i’s most celebrated artists. There are many versions of this classic tale. One of the earliest English translations, Pele and Hi'iaka, A Myth from Hawaii, was authored by Nathaniel Bright Emerson and first published in March of 1915. This book was the primary source of inspiration for Varez, who started working on his own re-telling in 2006.
