The studio panel discusses the book and interview finalist author, Kat Quinn, who zooms in from somewhere on the globe.
Bravery, suspense, friendship and love are all brought to life through the eyes of an adorable pēpi tīrairaka (baby fantail). Te reo Māori breathes naturally and rhythmically in this book, with chirpy repetition of sentences used to introduce new kupu and to reinforce ideas of connection, belonging, similarities and differences. Attractive, evocative illustrations allow readers to learn about native species and their homes, while also enjoying the flutter of a gentle adventure.
This year an innovative approach to the Books Alive events, associated with the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, has been created in response to challenges caused by the pandemic.
Books Alive finalist events and virtual storytimes are being offered online for the first time. We are celebrating and promoting the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults finalist books, authors and illustrators and publishers to new audiences around the country.
School and public libraries have worked with finalists to create a series of online events for children, students, parents, caregivers and whanau to enjoy. We hope you take time to view and share a Books Alive event or virtual storytime.
You can purchase the finalist books through our virtual bookshop:
