Kolea, the beloved Pacific Golden Plover, once again reveals a little-known fact of Hawaiian history. In this book, we learn the secret of the Royal Crowns of Hawaii that are preserved in Honolulu's Iolani Palace. Young readers will enjoy traveling with King Kalakaua on his historic 1881 World Tour.
Read through the book with its author, Aunty Alice Guild, who has a fifty-year volunteer career with the restoration, preservation and operation of Iolani Palace. This is the second of her "Kolea" books. The first book, "Kōlea and the Chief's Cloak" won the Hawai‘i Book Publisher's Association 2019 Award for Excellence in Children's Literature.
