Summary: |
This is a fascinating biography of Ka'iulani, Crown Princess of Hawaii. The history of Hawaii is also chronicled, as is a bit about life in the US and Europe in the late 19th century. Authentic photographs and political cartoons, a bibliography, and index, and a prologue explaining Hawaiian words and pronunciation enlarge the scope of the book. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This is an obvious choice for higher level readers in a unit on biographies or influential women, or monarchies (or, perhaps, U.S. history). There's much here for learners to explore-- relationships among people, including family members; the notion of royalty and the obligations of royals; political expansionism and its influence on a people's culture and history. Learners may want to develop character sketches of the major characters (especially Ka'iulani and Lil'iuokalani). |
