Rahui (Te Reo Maori Edition)
Author(s): Chris Szekely
Te Reo Māori | NZ Picture Books
This picture book is about cousins’ holidays in a rural Māori community having adventures together – playing in the bush, riding horses, fishing, eeling and swimming at the beach. A child's death leads to a rahui (restriction) being placed on a rural beach. After a year, the rahui is lifted, and two children return to the beach full of life and with their cousin in their hearts.
The feeling of the book is joyous and wistful, and the illustrations richly evoke the atmosphere of the setting and people.
