In this Maori-language edition of Bob Darroch's bestselling lift-the-flap bedtime story, it's time for Little Kiwi to go to bed - but where is he?

Maori-language champion Stacey Morrison has translated Little Kiwi's bestselling lift-the-flap pukapuka!

Kua tae ki te wa e moe ai a Kiwi Pakupaku, engari kei hea ia? Whaia tana Kokara, ka kimi haere i a ia i te ngahere o Aotearoa.

A favourite lift-the-flap adventure in the eternally popular Little Kiwi series of storybooks, now available in te reo Maori.

Kua tuhi pakiwaituhi a Bob Darroch mo te nuinga o tona oranga. Kua whakamahia ana mahi toi mo nga taputapu takaro, nga tapaepae, nga manatunga, kari whakaahua, niupepa me nga moheni, puta noa i te ao. No te tau 1999 i timata ai tana tuhi pukapuka ma nga tamariki. No te tau 2001 ka puta mai te tuatahi o ana pukapuka Kiwi Pakupaku, a, neke atu i te tekau pukapuka kua whai mai. I te tau 2015 ka whakawhiwhia a Bob ki te Storylines Gaelyn Gordon Award for a Much-loved book, mo Little Kiwi is Scared of the Dark.
Kei Temuka, Arowhenua a Bob raua ko tana hoa wahine a Ruth e noho ana.

Na Stacey Morrison i whakamaori, he pai nga pukapuka Kiwi Pakupaku ki ana tamariki tokotoru.

Praise for He wa moe, Kiwi Pakupaku

He Wa Moe, Kiwi Pakupaku at its core is a simple book; however, when you look closely it shows the beauty of te wao nui a Tane. Me penei pea te korero, he pukapuka tenei i whakaatu ana i te ataahua, i te rerehua o nga tamariki o te wao nui a Tane...Na reira, he pukapuka tenei ma nga tamariki katoa o Aotearoa nei, na te mea he pukapuka ataahua, he pukapuka e whakaputa ana i nga kare-a-roto harikoa. This is one of the many books that should be read by all children in Aotearoa, New Zealand, not only because it is a beautiful book, but also because it gives off the feelings of happiness and nostalgia that we long for.
