A CHERISHED NAME
Margo's Hawaiian name, Leipua'ala (lasting gifts for children), given to her by a Hawaiian family friend, means a great deal to her.
That friend presented his explanation of my name in this way: "The lei represents the books you create which are gifts for the younger generation. The pua are all the children to whom you dedicate your work. And the fragrance or 'ala is the lasting imagery from your books the children will take with them into adulthood."
