Moku and the Heʻe of Waimea BeachHouse Publishing
Inspired by bedtime storytelling sessions with his grandson, longtime Hawai'i artist Wilfred Toki wrote and illustrated this timeless story about a man who heads out into the high seas of Waimea Bay in a last-ditch effort to
find food for his family. While fishing, Moku encounters a giant he'e (octopus). When the he'e offers himself to feed Moku and his family, a friendship is born.
