Tales of Aotearoa: How Maui slowed the sun – retold by Donovan Bixley

Donovan Bixley re-tells the story of how Maui slowed the journey of the sun through the sky each day!

The traditional tale but with Donovan’s unique twist and trademark humour. The pictures are bright and bring their own level of humour to the book.

Dr Darryn Joseph ensures that the story is accurate and culturally appropriate and translates, along with Keri Opai, the story for the Te Reo edition. 

Format: This book is a Paper back.

Language: This book is written in English with some Māori words and phrases included.

The reo Māori version is available here: Pūrākau o Aotearoa: Te whakatautōnga a Māui i te Rā
