A little gecko surprises his mother by telling her he doesn’t want to come out at night, that he prefers the day “…when it’s sunny and bright.” Mother gecko explains that night time is the best time for geckos, and reassuringly introduces him to some of the delightful sights of a Hawaiian night.

For over 35 years, this much loved Hawaiian children’s bedtime story has charmed little ones and their parents.
