Moana
She gave up. Her grandmother told her it wasn't her fault. That's exactly when she found the strength to keep going. 🌊
Who it's for
Moana is torn between her father's plan for her to lead the island and a pull toward the ocean, a clear picture of the tension between family expectations and self-direction.

What it is
On the Polynesian island of Motunui, Moana, the chief's daughter, is chosen by the ocean to return the stolen heart of the goddess Te Fiti, taken long ago by the demigod Maui. When a blight strikes the island, her grandmother Tala urges her to find Maui, and Moana sets sail despite her father's wishes.
