Description
It’s Ori the Whale’s first time making the long journey from chilly Alaska to the warmer waters of the Hawaiian Islands. Mother Whale has so many things to show him! For twenty-five years, Mother Whale has been making this roundtrip journey, and now she shares with Ori all of her favorite things to see when she comes to Maui each winter – from Haleakala, the dormant volcano towering over the island, to the surfers and hula dancers on the sandy shore, and one final, very special sight. What could it be?
Gwen and Harry Mirijanian have visited Maui annually for the past twenty-five years. “Sitting on the beach one day,” Harry recalls, “we thought about all the people who come to Maui to see the whales. And then we thought about what the whales who return each year were seeing and thinking,” which led to the couple’s idea to create a children’s book to share everything they treasure about Maui.
Harry is the founder and president, and Gwen is vice president, of Applied Risk Control Corporation, a risk management consulting firm. They have two children and five grandchildren and currently reside in Blauvelt, New York.
