Manaaki and te Marama – Manaaki rāua ko te Marama – by Nick King, illustrated by Kim Filshie
One evening Manaaki discovers te Marama (the Moon) high up in the starry sky. But when in rains, there is no “Marma” and even when the clouds clear te Marama is nowhere to be seen. Will Marama ever come back?
I tētahi pō ka kite a Manaaki kua eke te Marama ki runga rawa o te rangi. Engari ka ua ana, kāore he “Maama”, ā, ahakoa ka kore atu ngā kapua kua kore e kitea atu. Ka hoki mai anō te Marama?
This gorgeous book focuses on a little boy and his family, who look for the moon “marma” each night before bed. Within the pages the illustrations show the changing faces of the moon and at the back of the book is a feature page of the maramataka – moon phases and names in Māori.
