Nani has always dreamed of being a princess. When a real Hawaiian princess comes to her hometown of Hilo, Nani dresses in her best clothes. But as she watches Princess Luka, who has come to save the town from Mauna Loa?s volcanic lava flow, Nani learns that there is more to being a princess than fine clothes.

Her books reflect her love of the islands. Beth is the author of A Lei for Everyday, Waikiki Lullaby, Hawai?i's Foodtrucks on the Go, The Twelve Days of Hula, and Hawaiian Ocean Lullaby. Beth now lives in Mississippi with her husband, cats, and the three family dogs: Hoku and Poli from Hawai?i and Donny from the mainland.
