Linda Rowell Stevens' sensitive and skillful renderings of Hawaiian subjects never fail to delight the eye and the heart. Fia Mattice, Gallery Manager, Volcano Art Center Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park, Volcano, Hawai`i

The enriching story of Uncle Kawaiola's Dream helps us all continue to strive for a better community, environment, and self-awareness of our "Hawaiianness." The lessons of laulima, lōkahi, paepae, and `ohana help us all. We all continue to strive to care for Hāloa, our eldest brother. May the dream of Uncle Kawaiola inspire us all, and the lessons learned keep us grounded in our `āina. Kumu Kapono`ai Molitau Wailuku, Maui

This is a wonderful book for all ages. It is so relevant now when people are starting to reconnect to the land, the life-giving waters, our ancestors, our food, our Hāloa, and our kalo, which to me represents all plant life and the relationship that all peoples have had in their own indigenous societies with food and nature. Uncle Kawaiola's Dream teaches many of the Hawaiian cultural principles that make for good strong characters in communities, locally or globally Chris Kobayashi, Kalo Farmer Wai`oli Farm, Hanalei, Kaua`i

I am familiar with this dream. It is a shared dream, and this is a story about why that is important. The dream bears fruit, and this book is one of them. New dreams will sprout from it. Paul Reppun, Kalo Farmer, Waiāhole, O`ahu

Uncle Kawaiola's Dream is a moving account of one `ohana's efforts to restore ancient lo`i kalo and their connection to their culture. This story will strike a chord in the hearts of people throughout Nā Wai `Ehā and, indeed, throughout Hawai`i Nei who are working to restore their lo`i, streams, and communities, and to grow their own food after centuries of plantation diversions. Hopefully, others will be similarly inspired to bring Uncle Kawaiola's Dream to life in their own communities, and in doing so, will help our streams flow, once again, from mauka to makai!
