About this listen

When the Sun raced across the sky too fast, Maui decided it was time to fight back.

In this thrilling tale from Polynesian mythology, Maui — the clever and daring demigod — takes on the Sun itself. With nothing but a giant flax rope and a whole lot of courage, Maui sets out to slow the blazing Tama-nui-te-rā, so his people can enjoy longer days, dry their cloth, and cook their food before nightfall. But catching the Sun is no easy task…

Join Mili and Abby as they unravel one of Maui’s boldest feats, celebrate his creativity and determination, and wrap it all up with a fast-paced Lightning Round quiz.

✨ A myth about bravery, problem-solving, and how one hero made the world a little brighter — and longer.
