Among a sea of ceramic fish, author Maya Soetoro-Ng signed copies of her book, “Ladder to the Moon,” during an Aug. 21 celebration of the newly rebuilt Kamalani Pavilion at Lydgate Park.
Soetoro-Ng, President Barack Obama’s half-sister from O‘ahu, was inspired to write “Ladder to the Moon” when her daughter asked questions about her late grandmother.
During the event, the Garden Island Arts Council’s Van Go! program showcased a ceramic mural painted by local students. The mural depicts tropical fish, monk seals and other Hawaiian sea creatures.
