Whenua
By Isobel Joy Te Aho-White
Review by Lou
This beautiful pukapuka dives into 11 different Māori legends based all throughout Aotearoa. These stories tell the tales of what our tīpuna got up to back in the day and the adventures they went on to get us to where we are today. They talk about the importance of tikanga Māori and use the dialects that reflect the regions they're based in to portray the stories.
