beautiful story about these legendary birds in their ocean paradise."

captivating text is full of vivid descriptions and fun-to-say
words that delight the ear and tongue. The book’s visual images

'Alala Love, by Caren Loebel-Fried
An original hand-pulled, hand-colored block print created for
the Hawai'i
Island Fesitval of Birds. Inspired by a photo taken by Jack
Jeffrey in 1999, this Hawaiian crow pair was thought to be the
last remaining couple in the wild. 'Alala, the Hawaiian crow,
is 18-20", with black feathers tinged in brown. The last of
the wild 'alala were found on the southwest slope of Mauna Loa
in South Kona, Hawai'i at 4,000 to 6,000 feet. The crows traveled
in family groups eating fruit, the eggs and young of other birds,
nectar, seeds, insects, and dead animals. Now extinct in the
wild, a captive breeding program at Keauhou Bird Conservation
Center promises a hopeful future for Hawaiian crows. |
