Kamapua’a is a shape-changing part man, part pig who has a vision about the beautiful Pele, the goddess of the volcano, who also has magical powers. In this booklet, George tells the legend as he remembers it from his grandmothers and teachers. He created the illustrations accompanying the story. Two pages of sheet music for the song is included.
