Petelo Peeks and Lei Loves

Two books in one!
Bilingual, introducing Samoan language within English language text in a way that makes the meaning clear to the reader of either language.

Petelo Peeks

When Petelo looks out the window he sees lots of different vehicles, from car to train, and then the best of all, a plane to take the family on holiday.

Lei Loves 

Lei loves celebrating each year with her family.
Lei loves saying ‘Manuia le tausaga fou’ when it is a new year.

This book introduces festive greetings from Mother’s Day to Happy New Year, and culminates in wishing Lei a ‘Happy Birthday’.
