《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 3-6-- Diane Stanley's newest picture biography with a text by her mother is the story of Princess Ka'iulani of Hawai'i. Expected to one day become queen, she is sent to England to be educated, only to have the haoles (foreigners) threaten her family's right to rule. Although her courageous plea to President Grover Cleveland postponed the end of Hawaii's independence, the islands were annexed by the United States in 1897. The beautiful Princess Ka'iulani died only 2 years later at the age of 23. As with Stanley's other biographies, readers are transported into another very believable world. The full-page paintings are stunning, reflecting the beauty of the islands and the handsome, racially mixed people who live there. Although her style evolves and adapts somewhat to her material, the book has an unmistakably Stanley look. A helpful note on the Hawaiian language and an extensive bibliography complete this visual treat. --Ann Stell, The Smithtown Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

出版社周刊评论
Born in 1875, Princess Ka`iulani was heir to the throne of the kingdom of Hawai`i. When she was 11, the girl's storybook childhood came to an abrupt end. Her mother fell ill, and on her deathbed shared with her daughter a vision of the future: Ka`iulani would go far away from her country for a long time, would not marry and would never rule Hawai`i. Fay Stanley's clear, straightforward text explains how this grim prophesy came true. While the princess attended boarding school in England, Hawai`i experienced political upheaval that eventually led to revolution and the country's annexation by the United States. Although Ka`iulani's brief life was not as action-filled as many subjects of children's biographies, it is certainly a story worth telling. The author's daughter, a veteran author and illustrator of the genre, contributes richly textured gouache paintings that convey the drama--and the sadness--of the tale. Ages 6-9. (Apr.)

A welcome reissue tells the little-known story of the Crown Princess of Hawaii, who tried to save her country from annexation by the United States. The story sheds new light on long-forgotten history; the vibrant gouache illustrations establish the lush Hawaiian background and provide historic detail. Bib.

Kirkus评论
Third in line for the throne when she was born in 1875 to the younger sister of Princess (later Queen) Lili'oukalani and the Scottish Archibald Cleghorn, Ka'iulani's short life was dominated by the dissolution of the Hawaiian monarchy. Her happy childhood came to an end when her mother died in 1887; she was sent to school in England, where it took weeks for her to learn that American Marines had forced her aunt to give up the throne. At 17, Ka'iulani traveled to Washington to intervene for her people, but--despite a sympathetic hearing from President Cleveland--to little avail; back in Hawaii by the time of formal annexation, she caught pneumonia a few months later, dying at 23. The artist's mother reports this brief life with simple dignity; but most compelling here are Diane Stanley's well-researched, jewel-bright paintings, her carefully delineated figures, stiff as old photos, deployed against a wealth of pattern and landscape. Attractive; informative. Note on the Hawaiian language; bibliography. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 4-6. In her previous illustrated biography, Stanley introduced Queen Elizabeth I to readers. Here, she looks again at a member of royalty, but quite a different figure--the last princess of Hawaii. Ka'iulani, the first heir born to the royal family, led an idyllic childhood in beautiful Oahu, surrounded by a loving family, until her mother died. On her deathbed Princess Likelike foresaw three things for her child: "You will go far away from your land and your people and be gone a very long time. You will never marry and you will never rule Hawai'i." Ka'iulani would spend many years studying abroad in England, preparing for her reign, but true to her mother's prediction, she never became queen. Though she fought tirelessly and even spoke personally to President Grover Cleveland, Ka'iulani was not able to persevere against American interests that wanted the U.S. to annex the islands. Not long after Annexation Day, August 12, 1898, Ka'iulani was caught in a downpour, became ill, and died at age 23. Fay Stanley's prose is occasionally stiff, but this bittersweet drama will certainly capture the reader's imagination. Diane Stanley's moving full-color paintings expressively re-create the human emotion of the story. It's all here: grieving Ka'iulani's last visit with her mother, the compelling scene when Queen Lili'uokalani is told American marines have marched into Honolulu, the despair Ka'iulani feels after the annexation. Biography that tells its story and touches the heart. Bibliography and pronunciation guide appended. ~--Ilene Cooper
