Determined to say them correctly, she goes on a chase to find her classmates and learn how to pronounce their names. She meets Arihia, Xinze, Somachandra, Sean and Tausa’afia, learns about their names and practises hard for the big day.
Renisa Maki tells a gentle and heart-warming story that crosses cultures and highlights the mana our names carry.
