<p><b><i>A story and hands-on exploration of music made from rubbish!</i></b><br><br>“What is garbage?” Asks Baba.<br>“Garbage is something nobody wants or needs,” I say. “It’s junk! Rubbish! Trash! <i>ʻŌpala! </i>Something worthless . . . Like that potato chip bag.” <br>Then he asks, “Hey, do you think our little chip bag friend can sing?”<br>“No, silly!” I say. <br>“Everything has a voice,” he says.<br>“So it’s not worthless?”<br>“Everything has worth,” he says. “<i>I ola ʻoe i ola mākou nei</i>. When they thrive, we thrive.”<br><br>An interactive book for teaching keiki about the importance of reusing, recycling, and taking care of our island home, <i>Kani ka ʻŌpala</i> tells the story of a father and daughter who turn trash into musical instruments—and shows you how to do it too! <br><br>Scan the QR codes inside the book to listen to music played on the author's homemade instruments.</p>
