I te Timatanga / In the Beginning – Peter Gossage
Retold and Illustrated by Peter Gossage

A bilingual text in te reo Maori and English, I te Timatanga / In the Beginning brings the Maori creation myth to life. In the beginning were Ranginui, the father, and Papatuanuku, the mother. Through vibrant illustrations and bold design, Peter Gossage tells the story of their children—the Maori gods—and their struggle to part their parents and bring light to the world.
