Reviews
Louise Ward, Hawke’s Bay Today ~ A wonderful addition to the canon of Matariki books to share with children, one that will bear repeated readings. There are visual and written instructions in the back on how to make a small net, making this a truly shareable, interactive tale.
Ariana Stewart, The Sapling ~ An enriching book packed with mātauranga Māori. Its thoughtful storytelling and detailed illustrations make it a joy to read and learn from.
