NZ Picture Books

I’m a Tuakana and its companion book, I’m a Tuahine, are excellent picture books to support the Tuakana-Teina learning principles in ECE and junior classes in primary schools. Told through the eyes of a preschooler big brother, this charming picture book empowers older children and siblings by showing them that they have very important roles to play in the classroom. It includes plenty of new Māori vocabulary, phrases and English translations (glossary).
