Description

Maori child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder has shaped her beloved book Aroha into this special collection of whakatauk and whakatauak for mokopuna of all ages. Bestselling author of Aroha and respected Maori psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder has written a special collection of whakatauk for tamariki mokopuna. Puanga kai rau. Puanga, the star signalling a time of the year with plenty of food. New beginnings. Dear Moko is written for all mokopuna, grandchildren, descendents. It is their very own book with stories from whakatauk and whakatauak, our Maori proverbs. A treasure-book revealing new secrets every time you read it. Some stories will make you smile and laugh out loud. Others invite you to think about difficulties you are facing in a different way. These are timeless words to live by, life lessons to inspire, for generations to come. Manaakitanga (love for each other), kaitiakitanga (respect for our planet), whanaungatanga (community and connectivity) and tino rangatiratanga (self-determination) bring to life our time-honoured values. Dear Moko is destined to be embraced by every whanau.
