A delightfully written and illustrated book by Nikki Slade Robinson celebrating Matariki. The story tells the tale of the little kiwi who is woken by a beam of moonlight. Realising its significance she alerts other forest creatures, weka, ruru, tui and katipo, to the arrival of Matariki, the star cluster that heralds the start of the Maori New Year. An excellent bilingual book with captivating pictures and an entertaining story line. This soft covered edition will be enjoyed at any time of the year but has special significance at Matariki.
