A fun, interactive cultural and social story for children. The story promotes friendship, provides a model for buddy systems (tuakana-teina) and is an integral part of traditional Māori society. Told through the eyes of a young learner (big sister), this charming picture book empowers older children and siblings by showing them that they have very important roles to play at home and in the classroom. Great for Preschool and Elementary learners. It includes plenty of new Māori vocabulary, phrases and English translations (glossary).
