This folk tale tells the story of the resentful brother who stopped sharing with his siblings and how love and kindness changed his heart. The story of Moana is rooted in the rich culture of the islands of Oceania. Folk tales and legends are part of the very fabric of that culture. The Introduction -- The Story of Te Fiti which sets the context for the story of Moana -- is one such tale. The author includes several short folk tales interspersed throughout the book.
