The girls in the kapa haka – by Angie Belcher, Illustrated by Debbie Tipuna.
“These are the poi that circled and twirled above the heads of the singing girls who wore the piupiu that swished and swirled, made from the flax that koro cut, that the mussel shell scraped, that the kuia made, that swung from the hips of the girls in the kapa haka”.
This book has a similar style to the old classic “The house that Jack built” with a bit of Māori flair!

About the Author:
Angie Belcher is a New Zealand writer and primary school teacher. This book The Girls in the Kapa Haka has become a classic to many children around the mōtu. It was published when Angie lived in the tiny seaside settlement of Maketū, the landing site of the great Arawa canoe. Angie was inspired to write the story after seeing one of the village kuia making piupiu and watching the children from the Maketū School kapa haka group perform at their local marae. Angie currently lives in Rotorua, New Zealand.
