No Ka Wai O Ka Puna Hou: The Water of Ka Puna Hou

When an elderly couple’s daily toil for water during a drought fills them with despair, a mysterious dream reveals an unexpected source of water. With hard work and faith, the lifegiving water gives way to hope to many in O‘ahu’s Ma¯noa Valley. This ancient Hawaiian legend has endured and when a school was built near the site of Pu‘uoma¯noa at the entrance to Ma¯noa Valley, it was given the name “Punahou”, or the new spring. No Ka Wai O Ka Puna Hou is the fourth book in a series published collaboratively by Hale Kuamo‘o and Kamehameha Schools, and is available in both bilingual and Hawaiian-only versions.
