Māori Language Week!

To celebrate the start of Māori Language week I'd like to share one of my favourite spreads in my latest book, You Don't Know How Lucky You Are!/Me i Mōhio Koe ki tō Waimarietanga!

I've enjoyed learning new words, and love the fact that certain words appear in a different colour to match the English equivalent.

I was delighted to learn that 'Exploded' is 'Pahū' – a great example of onomatopoeia! A big shout-out to Te Ama-Rere-Tai Rangihuna for translating it!








Congratulations to the winners of the Colouring-in Competition!!!

 Congratulations to Macy Shepherd, James Cummins, 

Princess Maine and Ariella! 

Prizes coming your way soon!

New picture book coming soon...

 


This is a replica of the billy-kart my dad made for me and my sister when we were growing up - he made this one for our kids a while back. It makes an appearance in my new picture book, coming out in July with Oratia!
