Five-and-half-year-old Kimo longs to be a surfer like his brothers, two of the best wave riders on the North Shore. With their help, he learns the steps to becoming a surfer. He also listens to his mothers story that encourages him to keep trying. With his own persistence he finally succeeds. This story is fun, inspiring, and also educational. Each page has a bottom border of Hawaiian foliage. A back glossary describes the leaves and some of their uses. Kids are also encouraged to find a few hidden pictures and learn about some interesting facts.
