Kim Vukovich spent much of her childhood outdoors, playing everywhere from the mountains to the sea on the island of Maui. With the birth of her daughters came the realization of the importance of teaching our keiki to care for the land. Kim believes the first step is for keiki to enjoy the natural world and wrote this lullaby in the hopes of inspiring parents to take their children outside.
