The narrative follows Kaiona, a young surfer who encounters Namaka, the Hawaiian goddess of the sea, and her guardian dog, Moela, after a fall from her surfboard. Namaka teaches Kaiona about the ocean's beauty and dangers, gifting her a shell necklace as a reminder. When Kaiona tries to warn her family and village about an impending tsunami, her warnings are initially dismissed. However, with the support of her grandfather, she leads her community to safety, earning their gratitude for her wisdom and courage. Through Kaiona's story, students learn valuable lessons about ocean safety and the importance of preparedness.
