Tala Learns to Siva
Written by: Kealani Netane
Illustrated by: Dung Ho
Tala wishes that she could dance the traditional Samoan dance, the taualuga, just like her Aunty Sina. But Tala's legs are too bouncy, her arms are too stiff, and she doesn't have Aunty's 'glow' when she dances. When Tala prepares to perform at her Grandma's birthday, she freezes on the stage. Will she find the strength and inspiration to help her dance?
This text celebrates Samoan culture and holds an important theme around perseverance.
