Everything looks so small from up here,' said Rona.

'I know,' Whaea beamed. 'Even the reasons we felt angry seem

so little'

The beloved myth of Rona and the Moon comes to the 21st century in English and Māori in Tim Tipene's sensitive telling, strikingly illustrated by leading artist Theresa Reihana.

Rona Moon gets angry with everyone — her brother, her Nana and Papa — and then one night she calls the moon stupid! Taken to meet her ancestor Whaea Rona on the moon, she learns a lesson in how to control her temper. The text has been superbly translated into Māori by Stephanie Huriana Fong. The book was one of the Listener magazine's Top 50 Children's Books of 2020.
