He uaua te pa-nui pukapuka ma- e-tahi ta-ngata – he uaua ma- te tamai roto i te-nei pukapuka. Engari, ara- e-tahi pukapuka ka tohua kia pa-nuihia e koe, mea rawa ake ka puare mai he ao whakami-haro i roto i nga- wha-rangi. Ko Te Pukapuka ka Kore e Pa-nuihia te-tahi o aua pukapuka.

The boy who narrates this story doesn’t like reading, until one day in the school library he picks up Te Pukapuka ka kore e Panuihia. Suddenly the book takes on a life of its own and before he knows it, he’s finished the book. ‘What should I read next?’ Te Pukapuka ka Kore e Panuihia takes the viewpoint of children who have reading struggles, with design guided by educators for appeal to reluctant or even dyslexic readers This inspirational story is available in Maori (in this paperback edition) as well as in English (hardback).
