illustrated nonfiction.

The history and meaning of the leis, along with the different methods employed to make them, depending on which flower, vine, shell or feather is being used. There's a lot of new information to me, such as the use of pheasant feathers being traditional for royalty, and the various methods used to make the leis. And there's a section with each traditional flower used in leis identified, along with large color photos of the leis. I'm a sucker for colorful flower photos, so I enjoyed this.
