This book becomes more relatable to those of that culture but also those who are not. I loved how this story told the basic message of accepting one another but in the Hawaiian style. I am completely a sucker for any book that looks at discrimination whether it be about race, sex/gender, etc. In the end, others began loving Limu because they got to know him rather than basing their opinions on the color of his shell. He always got picked on by the others due to his difference in color but he still has the best time he can. This book follows a turtle, Limu, who was born blue, unlike the other turtles. While some find the message of the book cliche, I really enjoyed reading this book as a child and even liked reading it as an adult as well. With the integration of a few Hawaiian words, this would be a good book to teach young children some Hawaiian. The illustrations in this book are extremely colorful and vibrant, drawing in the reader's attention.

Through his friendship with Nani and Jonah, Limu learned that it does not matter about what you look like on the outside, it only matters about the goodness of your heart and who you are on the inside. When they finally arrived at Nani's sister's home, Limu saw all the colorful fish and coral on the reef and learned the true meaning of friendship. On their way, they met Jonah the whale and Limu helped take a piece of wood out of his flipper. Limu offered to take Nani to see her sister since he could swim fast. One day, Limu saw a little 'opihi named Nani crying because she missed her sister who lived far away. Although he didn't have any friends, this did not stop him from having fun while surfing the waves and chasing fish into the coral. Limu was always teased and laughed at growing up because he was blue while all the other turtles were green.
