Nanny Jo and the Wild Mokopuna
Author(s): Moira Wairama
NZ Picture Books | Matariki Books
The wild mokopuna loved their Nanny Jo. She took them to the park, to the river, to the bush. But when Nanny Jo became sick, the wild mokopuna gathered around her to hear the story of the great fisherman Taramainuku and Te Waka o Rangi.
A touching story that celebrates grandmothers, while also highlighting the significance of Matariki as a time to farewell the spirits and celebrate the Māori New Year.
He kōrero aroha tēnei e whakanui ana i ngā kuia, he pūrākau hoki mō te wā whakahirahira o Matariki.
