Fledgling’s First Flight
Quality picture book written by Dr Janice Belgrave. Based on a true story! Excellent for classroom, home, grandkids etc. Perfect for teaching vocabulary and narrative structure.
This book has been written so that you, the reader, can choose to read either the English words, or the Māori kupu words (in brackets) in certain places. Enjoy!
Wise ole Whisky
Another quality picture book written by Dr Janice Belgrave. Again based on true events and delightfully told in rhyme. Great for teaching vocabulary, Māori kupu and story structure.
Mr Darcy The Cat and The Matariki Glow
Elsie Ellen never liked cats, until a mischievous stray her daughter called Twitchy Tail wandered into her life. What starts with one unexpected feline soon grows into a story of love, laughter, and second chances—especially when a wise, one-eyed rescue cat named Calvin arrives, with a heart as big as his purr.
Inspired by a true story, “Elsie Ellen and Calvin – A Feline Rescue Tail!“ is a heart-warming rhyming story about friendship, family, and the incredible bond between humans and the cats who choose them. Thank you to Tiny Kittens who rescued Calvin, and knowing his life mattered, and to GrandMeowmy (Elsie Ellen) who let her daughter Heather live her dream. Love always wins.
Mr Darcy The Cat and The Matariki Glow
A magical journey through the eyes of the author's cat Mr Darcy. This picture book explores Matariki and what the stars are called and mean in New Zealand and other countries. Delightful rhyme, a glossary of vocabulary and Māori Kupu, and lots of little surprises for children to discover within the illustrations on each page.
