The Little Kiwi's Matariki

This gentle tale about celebrating Matariki, the Māori New Year, also includes an explanation of Matariki – it's origins, traditions and how it is celebrated today. The constellation is also shown, with the Māori names for each star. The text contains some simple words in Te Reo Māori alongside the English equivalent.
