Eight year old Moana loves the ocean and is thrilled to participate in her first Tiale celebration. This island festival happens every ten years to honor a remarkably brave female ancestor. To prove her bravery, Moana signs up for the most exciting event of the day: the grand cliff diving competition. There is just one giant problem. Moana has never actually cliff dived before, and looking down from the top of the rocks is much scarier than she imagined. To overcome her fears, she will need to find the perfect teacher. With practice and gentle coaching from her mother, Moana must learn to take a deep breath and trust herself. This inspiring chapter book takes you back to Moana's childhood before she sailed across the sea. It is a wonderful story about trying new things, facing fears, and making a big splash.
