Petroglyph party for children
Bring the keiki to a Petroglyph Party on from 1 to 4 p.m. tomorrow at Native Winds Gift Gallery and Craft Supply in Kaimuki, where they will be able to carve their own petroglyph and make pencil rubbings of petroglyphs to take home.Local author and artist Jeremiah Ho'oku'u Gruenberg will be there to read from his new children's book "Ki'i and Li'i: A Story From the Stones." He'll also give an informal talk about Hawaiian petroglyphs and autograph copies of his book, which will be available for purchase.
Combining authentic Hawaiian petroglyphs with their corresponding Hawaiian words and his original images, Gruenberg's book records the delightful observations of Ki'i and her younger brother Li'i as they travel to their cousin's village on the other side of the island. Children will share in the joy of the siblings' journey and learn about Hawaiian culture via a pronunciation guide for the Hawaiian vocabulary and a comprehensive afterward by noted petroglyph authority Edward Stasak.
Gruenberg became interested in petroglyphs during a fourth grade field trip and hopes that the book will be the first step in accomplishing his mission to make petroglyphs more accessible to children.
Also on display and for purchase will be the carvings of local artist Terry Kraan who uses petroglyph motifs in his one-of-a-kind wearable art.
Native Winds is at 1152 Koko Head Ave., Suite 202, in Kaimuki, near Waialae Avenue.
