Volleyball, hula, and a changing sense of home

Kai’s move away from Hawai‘i disrupts more than his place as captain of his school volleyball team: it also leaves him questioning his connection to his identity. His family points him toward hula as a link to their heritage and ancestors, while Kai resists that connection. The story brings together the upheaval of relocation, the importance of family traditions, and a young person’s search for strength and belonging. Presented as a graphic novel, it centers a Pacific Islander family’s cultural ties alongside a child’s changing circumstances.
