Pili the ʻIwa Bird Flies Again! Legends and Folklore Wight’s rhythmic prose and giftPili is a magnificent young 'Iwa (frigate) bird who has learned a bad habit; she's a compulsive hoarder! Pili collects so many trinkets and treasures that she needs twenty three nests to hold them. Just as her possessions begin to consume her, Pili is visited by her Tt, who helps her to understand that the real treasure is not possessions, but those things that bring joy to the heart. _____ Written by Gail Omoto Jan & Judy Dill Illustrated by Garrett
