Children love being involved in the kitchen so they will enjoy joining Bella, Jacob and Lucas as they follow recipes in English and Mori, all the while looking forward to the satisfaction of eating the sweet treats that they have baked for themselves. When Nana bakes its a real treat cause theres so many tasty things to eat. Ina tunu keke a Kui, he r whakaharikoa n te nui o ng mea reka hei kai. Nana knows that having help with the baking can be messy but that its the best fun for tamariki of all ages, even toddlers, fostering an interested in food and skills for later in life. Rachel Doraghs inspired illustrations bring the story to life in an authentic kiwi kitchen while Piripi Walkers translation keeps the words simple and clear, so the rhythm is right, and each sentence flows when delivered aloud.
