This Sunday, March 17, 2012 is St. Patrick’s Day.
We all know the symbols—the shamrock and the elusive Leprechaun.
In Hawaii, there are little people (much like the Irish Leprechaun) known as The Menehune. They are rarely seen—also like the Leprechaun—but there are some differences.
No pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The Menehune have given Hawaiians something much more valuable than a hidden pot of gold. They have been accredited with building various roads, temples, aqua ducts, and ponds in Hawaii. These magical little people were so clever and strong that they could complete these projects overnight.
Individual menehunes range in size from six inches to two feet high.
They dwell deep in the forests and can be very mischievous.
My second book in The Hawaiian Island Detective Club Series is entitled, Menehunes Missing. I love those little guys. And kids love them, too. I hope you'll share this adventure with the kids in your life!
So, this St. Patty’s Day, I’m going to celebrate the amazing Menehune!
Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!
