"The Wonderful Journey" is a part of the Hawaiian Children's Books archive and is no longer in print. The Wonderful Journey highlights Humpback Whales incredible journey from Alaska to Hawai'i (and back again!). Gill McBarnet is one of Hawaii's top children's book authors and for many years her stories and delightful illustrations have inspired island youngsters and young visitors to Hawaii.From a Whale Who Wanted to be Small, a Brave Little Turtle, a bullying shark and geckos who like to play hide and seek, Gill ("Jill") has explored a host of Hawaiian themes with liveliness and humor, and many have become best sellers in Hawaii. "THE GOODNIGHT GECKO" is presently her best seller, and her newest book "OUR ISLAND HOME, Counting Our Blessings in Hawaii" is sure to excite interest with the richly detailed illustrations and message of "gratitude".
