Amidst the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii’s stunning beaches and lush landscapes, my heart finds a profound connection to this island paradise. As I reflect upon the cherished tale of “The Wump World,” its message echoes the delicate state of our environment here.

Have you ever read the Bill Peat book, “The Wump World”?

It’s a really great one that we like to read to our boys! The sweet goat-like animals called the Wumps have a peaceful life eating bumbershoots and sipping from pristine streams. That is, until the Pollutions come along and destroy the Wumps’ beautiful world and just about all of their bumbershoot trees. Eventually the Pollutions leave to destroy a new planet… and there’s not much good left for the Wumps.
