In the lush Hawaiian rainforest, beneath a canopy of ‘ohia trees, native flora and fauna live in harmony. As her time draws near, lovely Pulelehua discovers the mamaki that sheltered her as a child and leaves a newborn egg on one of its leaves. Follow along as the wise mamaki nurtures Ke Li‘i through his stages of life, from a tiny black caterpiller to a magnificent Kamehameha Butterfly.
