Nanny Mihi and the Rainbow – Melanie Drewery

During the school holidays, Nanny Mihi’s mokopuna (grandchildren) are sent each day to collect objects of a different colour from the local beach—shells, flowers, seaweed, and other treasures left by humans—always asking, “why?” By the week’s end, they have gathered enough to create a beach rainbow.

With Tracy Duncan’s refreshed illustrations and Melanie Drewery’s enduring storytelling, this story captures children’s imaginations. Nanny Mihi teaches patience, creativity, connection to nature, and that sometimes the most precious things are those we cannot hold onto. Te Reo Maori is woven throughout the text, with translations provided.
