Product Description

Pua is a young puaʻa pig growing up on the beautiful island of Kauaʻi. Most of the time, Pua enjoys her sweet life, especially eating the tropical fruits in her valley. But sometimes, Pua gets mad. So mad that her thoughts and feelings get all “kapakahi” or mixed up and she has tantrums. One day, her wise Uncle Pono teaches her a mindful meditation to calm down, clear her mind, and manage her feelings and body. Through this simple exercise, Pua is reminded that she is connected to nature and the ʻaina all around her. A skill that will last a lifetime.
