    Summary: 
    This is a little book about a big family that makes the point that family is who you choose and there's always room for more at Sunday dinner, even if it's on Saturday night. Or Wednesday night. Or whenever. In a time when families don't fit traditional definitions, the narrator Kainoa, assures readers that a diverse family is a pretty ordinary family. For Kainoa, family is who you choose. Cleverly written by Lee Cataluna and lovingly illustrated by Hawaii artist Cheyne Gallarde, the images of a contemporary Hawaii family are both familiar and wholly unique. The story is told through experiences witnessed and collected by a young boy named Kainoa. He has a pretty ordinary family life, according to him. But when he starts to introduce the various members of his ohana, he reveals a complicated but very sturdy and loving family structure that has been built, rebuilt, and reinforced over time. Kainoa describes generations-old Hawaii family traditions blended with a modern, open sensibility. He talks about the people he loves in a matter-of-fact voice with witty observations.
