Tahi the Tuatara is down in the dumps and no matter what his friend Roger the Ruru tries, nothing seems to change his mood. It's not until they answer a cry for help that their journey takes an unexpected turn.
'Tu Meke Tuatara!' is a story about empathy, friendship and discovering that sometimes the best way we can feel better about ourselves, is to help someone else. A beuitifil piece of Kiwiana.
With a background in television and a wide variety of creative interests, Malcolm has found his niche telling heart-warming kids’ stories about the natural world. The success of his first book, Tu Meke Tūī!, showed just how powerful it is when children get to learn about the environment in a fun and accessible way.
Malcolm believes that teaching children about conservation from an early age will help to prepare them to be kaitiaki (guardians) who care for their world now and in the future. He is thrilled to add Tu Meke Tuatara! to the collection of Tu Meke Tales.
This beautifully illustrated book (illustrated by Flox, aka Hayley King) can be read to preschoolers, and given to school age children to read by themselves. A lovely gift, and souvenir of New Zealand
