1 post
Let's Celebrate Matariki will inspire a young child's learning and increase his appreciation in his identity, family, extended family, community and culture. Teachers and parents can use this picture book to teach children ages 2 to 8 about race, humanity, culture, inclusion, and kindness.The book celebrates M?ori culture through the lens of the lunar new year observation called Matariki. Repetitive text starts each two-page spread, lyrical verse follows each statement, elaborating on the meaning. This rich text paired with illustrations culminates in a wonderful book that will show children worldwide about M?ori traditions of family, food, culture and love.The book contains captivating illustrations filled with fun action words and M?ori proverbs. The backmatter includes a glossary of M?ori terms used.Great for bedtime stories, group reading, and one-on-one.

Happy Matariki!

Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Celebrate the rising of Matariki

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars, that rises in midwinter and for many Māori, heralds the start of the new year.
The return of the cluster is commemorated by Te Rā Aro ki Matariki 2024, which happens on Friday, June 28, this year
It just became a national holiday for us Kiwis in 2022 so many of us are only now learning its significance.

Centique @Jeg there are some beautiful spots to see the night sky! I recommend Tekapo in the South Island. I do hope you get to visit here again one day 😍 5mo
