Join Hawaii Island Humane Society and author Angel M. Hiatt at Books Nooks & Crannies in Hilo 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19 for the debut of Hiatt’s book “Aloha Kiki.”

Readers will join “Aloha KiKi” on a fun-filled day’s adventure inside her magical secret garden.

According to Hiatt, “Aloha KiKi” gives the young reader the chance to visit and discover an exciting world on the Big Island that is full of adventure, fantasy, curiosity, and excitement.

“While written especially for young readers, parents will enjoy reading ‘Aloha KiKi’ to their children over and over again,” Hiatt said.

A special reading of the book will take place at noon during the event at Books Nooks & Crannies. A portion of the sale of each book will be donated to Hawaii Island Humane Society.

HIHS will be on hand with adoptable animals from their Keaau shelter. This event is free and perfect for the whole family.

The mission of the Hawaii Island Humane Society is to promote respect for all animals, prevent cruelty to animals, eliminate pet overpopulation, and enhance the bond between humans and animals.

HIHS holds a contract with the County of Hawaii to enforce certain animal-related laws and it offers 24-hour service for injured animals and other animal emergencies, humane education classes, low-cost spay and neuter services, lost and found assistance, microchipping and more.
