Iki, the Littlest 'Opihi |  |
| Little Iki lives in the rough surge zone of Hawai'i's rocky shore. Like the other 'opihi, Iki must learn to cling tightly to the rocks, or risk being swept away by the waves. But Iki wants to see the world. Will this tiny limpet settle down and learn to "stick to it?" Inspired by the author's willful son, who clung to her legs like a little 'opihi when he was young. | |
