Meet Erzsi Palko, the author and illustrator of "Enchanting Creatures of Hawai'i Island and "Under the Ohi'a Tree", at Basically Books on December 20th at 3pm!
Description for Under the Ohi'a Tree: A stunning meditation through a native forest where our beloved ʻōhiʻa trees remain a beating heart, Under the ʻŌhiʻa Tree asks its readers of all ages to pause and consider: “What do you hear? What do you see?” This invitation frames a visual and textual narrative bursting with the thrum of our native forest birds, insects, and plants. Both an exploration of wonder and a joyful appreciation of the precious ecosystem of our native forests, this picture book by artist Erzsi Palko is the loving work resulting from years of studying plants and meeting native forest species while adventuring with her pup, Ohia.
