Taeao Manuia is the second book in the Under the Launiu Series. In this book, Mama is trying to wake up Nuanua by showing her all the different lanu (colors) that can be found outside. From the orange butterflies to the green grass, Mama helps Nuanua say taeao manuia (good morning) to the world. The Under the Launiu Series aims to promote the cultural values and language of the Pacific people. Sabrina hopes the Under the Launiu Series will foster a love of learning, reading, and culture for all Pacific children, especially for her daughter who is of Samoan and Hawaiian descent.
