This colorful book from the Voices from around the World: Pacific Islands series (5 titles) presents the history, geography, climate, societal customs, role of religion, and the love of music, art, and sports in S?moa. The discussion begins with a traditional myth concerning the creation of humankind and extends through S?moan participation in the 2021 Summer Olympics and the effects of global warming on coastal areas of the islands. Writer Jane Va'afusuaga is a 20-year resident of S?moa; her husband, Tuiafutea Olsen Va'afusuaga, who is of S?moan heritage, was a consultant on the book. The writing is engaging, and well-chosen photos brighten the pages while offering glimpses of the country, its history, and its people. This informative introduction to S?moa will fill a gap in many libraries' collections.
