From the bestselling author of The Bone Tree comes a lively and playful bilingual collection of stories about growing up in Patea.
Interlinked and full of recurring characters, these stories are about growing up in small-town Aotearoa – sneaking away during cross country, doing bombs while the lifeguard isn’t looking, peeling spuds on the marae, crashing a car at age four, and learning to live by the tikanga ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.
Exuberant, exciting, poignant and heartfelt, each story is featured in English and te reo Maori. The perfect resource for those on their reo learning journeys as well as for readers who enjoyed The Bone Tree.
