# Snow Angel, Sand Angel - Hardcover

by **Lois-Ann Yamanaka** (Author), **Ashley Lukashevsky** (Illustrator)

**A celebration of home, family, and finding beauty in your heritage, beautifully illustrated by the artist behind _Anti-Racist Baby_.**

Claire has been surrounded by the deep blue waves of Hapuna Beach and the magnificent mountains of Hawai'i all her life, but has never, _ever_ seen snow. When her father drives her and her family to the top of the Mauna Kea, she can't help but to be disappointed...it's not the winter wonderland she's always dreamed of. And that's what she wants, more than anything.

But as Claire edges ever closer to the new year, she wonders if maybe-- just maybe--she can delight in the special joys of winter in her own way--right there, on her Big Island of Hawaii.

Includes backmatter that captures the environmental culture of Hawaii, and will teach children not only about the local flora and fauna, but also the value of being environmentally friendly.

### Author Biography

Lois-Ann Yamanaka was born and raised in Hawai'i, where this story takes place. The author of many acclaimed novels including _Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers_ and _Saturday Night at the Pahala Theatre_, and the winner of a Pushcart Prize, Lois-Ann initially followed in parents' footsteps and became a teacher--when she realized, as she was teaching children to write poetry, that she could learn to write creatively, too. Snow Angel, Sand Angel is based on some of the longings for snow she experienced as a kid.
