About The Book
WRITTEN BY SUSAN VERDE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR WITH OVER 2 MILLION COPIES SOLD.
This book takes children to one of the most remote islands on Earth, where nearly 1,000 massive stone statues were carved from volcanic rock and somehow moved across the landscape centuries ago. They’ll learn about the Rapanui people, the sacred concept of mana, and a mystery that archaeologists are still debating.
This hardcover book takes readers deep into the world of Rapa Nui. Children are introduced to the massive stone figures and invited to consider how they were carved, why they were created, and how people managed to move them across the island without modern machines. Alongside the striking photographs, they discover the meaning and significance of these statues, gaining insight into the traditions and culture of the Rapa Nui people.
The book goes beyond presenting information. It encourages children to imagine, predict, and ask questions about what these giant figures reveal. A world map helps readers locate Rapa Nui and compare its distance to their own home, sparking curiosity about travel, time zones, and weather. Activities and word games provide interactive learning, while creative prompts inspire readers to write, draw, and explore their own personal connection to the Moai.
This engaging hardcover is designed to reflect the Moai Collection and give families a chance to move away from screens, sit together, and celebrate the enduring mystery of one of the world’s most fascinating cultural treasures.
