Product Description
Opae E is a song written by Pilahi Paki with music composed by Irmgard Farden Aluli. This song speaks of a young boy of Kahakuloa, Maui, who seeks to rescue his sister from a large eel. Along the way he meets various sea creatures and asks for their help. Only the bravest of these creatures will join him in his attempt to save his sister. The English Version of this story is not an exact translation from the Hawaiian words found in the song, however, it was retold to incorporate a wider array of vocabulary for the budding student.

Customer Reviews
I love the story (moʻolelo) and it goes along really well with the song. I’m an artist and hate to critique other people’s artwork (Art is so subjunctive), but it encouraged me to recreate the story more to the song and with artwork more to my liking. The price is too high for a skinny paperback book! I was really disappointed. I’m all about supporting art and culture but I just couldn’t see how the price justified the product.
