Author(s): Margaret Mahy

NZ Non-Fiction

At last, a history of New Zealand that children (and their parents) will want to read! Margaret Mahy, New Zealand's most acclaimed children's author, combines forces with cartoonist Trace Hodgson to tell the New Zealand story -- from Gondwana to Gallipoli, whaling to welfare state, kauri forests to kohanga reo and the Treaty to the TAB -- in a fresh and irreverent way. Who ever said our history was boring? Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions and stealing from your kids' bookshelf, Awesome Aotearoa is set to become a Kiwi classic.
