Highly recommend this book and others in the series, great way to introduce tamariki to Maori legends and te reo.

Description

Donovan Bixley re-tells the story of how Maui slowed the journey of the sun through the sky each day! The traditional tale but with Donovan's unique twist and trademark humour. The pictures are bright and bring their own level of humour to the book. Darryn Joseph ensures that the story is accurate and culturally appropriate and translates , along with Keri Opai, the story for the Te Reo edition.
