The 2014 Ka Palapala Poʻokela Awards gala is fast approaching (Thursday, April 24), and to generate excitement for the event as well as educate the public on the nominees, we continue our tradition of doing a countdown of posts, highlighting the books nominated for each awards category. Where applicable, I will link to book reviews from Hawaiʻi Book Blog.
For a complete list of all the nominees we’ve posted and for all the updated information on the event, please visit our dedicated Ka Palapala Poʻokela Awards page.
The fifth category in our KPP spotlight is Excellence in Design. Last year’s winners in this category include Ili Nā Hoʻomanaʻo o Kalaupapa: Casting Remembrances of Kalaupapa by Anwei Skinses Law and Valerie Monson, and Engraved at the Lahainaluna Seminary, 1834-1844 by David W. Forbes.
