About The Book

An interactive children's book, written by New York Times best-selling author Susan Verde

Nearly 1,000 stone heads and torsos - some weighing over 20,000 pounds - were carved out of volcanic rock hundreds of years ago and placed all around the island. Why were they created, and how were they moved without machinery?

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.
