Leʻa the Happy-Face Spider is alone and discouraged by a storm that has isolated her from her family and friends. As she thinks about what she can do, she remembers the advice of a friend and the love of er ʻohana, especially her mama. These memories motivate her to begin her journey back home. On her way back, Leʻa extends friendship and care to a lost and sad baby koa bug. Together they learn a precious lesson that home is not just a place, but a powerful web of relationships and aloha. This story highlights the power of hoʻomakamaka (friendship), hoʻomau (perseverance), and ʻohana (family)!
