Grab your art supplies and your favorite snack as author and illustrator Shar Tuiasoa talks about food, family, and culture. Shar will read "Punky Aloha", a story centered around a young girl'€™s connection with her grandmother, who is making her famous banana bread--but she needs butter! As Punky goes on her journey in search of butter for grandma, she learns more about her culture, her community, and her island of O'€™ahu.

After the story, draw lush vegetation and that famous banana bread recipe alongside Shar as you think of foods that have a special meaning in your heart.
