Another Kiwi goodie to add to the collection in gorgeous Te Reo!

Tu Meke Tui is a story of friendship, courage and discovering that sometimes it’s our differences that make us truly special.

Tere the Tui and Taitu the Takahe are two very different sorts of birds; one loves to flit and twirl around in the sky, while the other prefers to rustle about in the undergrowth.

Tumeke is a New Zealand Ma¯ori word which means to startle or take fright. In recent years, tu meke (as two words) has developed as a colloquial phrase meaning ‘too much’ and is used to express excitement or being shaken up.

A beautiful book written by Malcolm Clarke and illustrated by Flox.
