New Zealand teachers will be familiar with the Pacific Island nation stories written by Jill MacGregor in the New Zealand School Journals. Her photographs capture children using environmental resources to maintain their traditions. This new series of books will encourage an understanding of children's daily life in Tonga, Samoa, Kiribati and the Cook Islands. The 'Children of the Pacific' series supports the Social Sciences and Technology learning areas within the New Zealand curriculum (Ministry of Education) Levels 1-3.
