"Claire has been surrounded by the deep blue waves of Hapuna Beach and the magnificent mountains of Hawaiíi all her life, but has never, ever seen snow. When her father drives her and her family to the top of the Mauna Kea, she can't help but be disappointed...it's not the winter wonderland she's always dreamed of. And that's what she wants, more than anything. But as Claire edges ever closer to the new year, she wonders if maybe--just maybe--she can delight in the special joys of winter in her own way--right there, on her Big Island of Hawaii. Includes backmatter that captures the environmental culture of Hawaii, and will teach children not only about the local flora and fauna, but also the value of being environmentally friendly"--From the publisher's web site.
