Pele Finds a Home

written by Gabrielle Ahuli‘i, illustrated by Jing Jing Tsong

Part of the Hawaiian Legends for Little Ones series, Pele Finds a Home introduces kids ages 0-4 to one of Hawai‘i’s best-known deities, the volcano goddess Pele, whose power is still on view today on the Island of Hawai‘i where Kīlauea continues to erupt.

Pele is Hawai‘i’s beloved fire goddess. This story follows Pele as she searches for a home. Along with her little white dog, she travels across the islands and finds many beautiful places, but none of them are the perfect fit. So Pele creates her own home.
