Details

This book combines beautiful storytelling with activities that can be completed in the pukapuka, along with a range of te reo Maori phrases and kupu. Grounded in te ao Maori, there is a strong focus on connection with te taiao nature, including kaitiakitanga and maramataka. This leads into practical information about our indigenous trees and fungi and the connections between them.

Although this book is written for tamariki, we also think it's a useful resource for adults and kaiako will find inspiration and ideas that can easily be adapted for different age groups.
