Una mañana brillante, una tortuguita verde tomaba el sol en la superficie de Turtle Cove, donde había llegado la noche anterior. Nació de un nido en una costa a cientos de millas de distancia y ha pasado los primeros seis años de su vida nadando en el océano. Aquí, en Turtle Cove, conoce a los habitantes: una sabia tortuga anciana, Kato y otras criaturas marinas. Admira las características únicas de un pulpo y una estrella de mar, y desearía poder nadar con un cardumen de peces. Observa las gaviotas y las golondrinas de mar volando libremente por encima y comienza a cuestionar su identidad.


Makana es un Regalo es la historia de la búsqueda de una joven tortuga marina para comprender su propósito único, quién y por qué es, mientras espera que le den su nombre. Una mañana, mientras tiene hambre para desayunar, confunde una bolsa de plástico con una medusa, la muerde como hacen muchas tortugas marinas y debe buscar ayuda para sobrevivir esta experiencia demasiado común y potencialmente mortal.


Al final, entiende que todas las criaturas son necesarias para ayudarse y cuidarse unas a otras; él también tiene un propósito único y esencial; que la vida es un regalo, y él también. En Hawaiano, Makana significa regalo, y por eso recibe su nombre.


Se incluye una guía de discusión y actividades y recursos. Los niños aprenderán sobre los comienzos biológicos de la vida de una tortuga marina, así como su antiguo legado, significado y simbolismo, y la importancia de su protección ecológica. Edades 4 8.


One bright morning a little green sea turtle basks on the surface of Turtle Cove, where he arrived the night before. He hatched from a nest on a shore hundreds of miles away, and has spent the first six years of his life swimming through the ocean. Here in Turtle Cove he meets the inhabitants-a wise elder turtle, Kato, and other sea creatures. He admires the unique features of an octopus and starfish, and wishes he could swim with a school of fish. He observes the gulls and terns flying freely overhead, and begins to question his identity.


Makana is a Gift is the story of a young sea turtle's quest to understand his unique purpose, who and why he is, while waiting to be given his name. One morning while hungry for breakfast, he mistakes a plastic bag for a jellyfish, takes a bite as many sea turtles do, and must seek help to survive this too common, life-threatening experience.


In the end, he understands that all creatures are needed to help and care for each other; he too has a unique and essential purpose; that life is a gift, and so is he. In Hawaiian, Makana means gift, and thus he receives his name.


A "Discussion & Activities Guide" and "Resources" are included. Children will learn about the biological beginnings of a sea turtle's life as well as their ancient legacy, their significance and symbolism, and the importance of their ecological protection. Watercolor illustrations are vibrant and life-like. Ages 4 8.
