Written in both English and Hawaiian the Storm Dog of the Ko�olaus is a vibrant, colorful, action-filled retelling of a Hawaiian legend about Hi�iaka, the shaping of the Ko�olau Mountain Range in Ka�a�awa, and the rock formation we all refer to as the Crouching Lion

Hi�iaka, a goddess of forests and sister to Pele, travels through Ka�a�awa and meets the handsome prince Kauhi. A howling wind rises from the ocean, and Kauhi knows that a storm dog (hurricane) is on its way. It is the fierce and terrible one called ��liouakaua.

With a great growl of thunder, lightning flashing from his eyes, and rain spinning from his shaking fur, the Storm Dog attacks the island. He bites the ridges and claws at the mountain side.

Local artist Roy Chang captures the story with his vivid pastel drawings.
