Te Haerenga Māia Riripata i Te Araroa - Maris O’Rourke and Claudia Pond Eyley, translated by Ani Wainui

Description

The Māori language edition of Lillibutt's Te Araroa Adventure

Lillibutt is lonely so she sets off from Cape Reinga on a very long walk to visit her kunekune cousins at the Auckland Zoo. As she travels down the country on Te Araroa she meets others along the way and overcomes some scary challenges during her long adventure. A charming tale of perseverance that also gives the reader a look at the first stage of the Te Araroa walkway.
