A bilingual story about the tupua Mataoho, and his connection to the volcanoes of Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, which comes with an action song! He purakau e pa ana ki a Mataoho me nga puia o Takamaki Makaurau. He tupua pukukino a Mataoho e noho ana i raro i te korowai poho o Papatuanuku. Na tana kaha pirori, hurihuri hoki, ka tokenekene a Papatuanuku i tona ihu ki tana oneone. Aiii. Ma - ma - MATIHE! Mataoho is a grumpy tupua who dwells under the blanket of the Earth. He tosses and turns so much that Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, tickles his nose with her soil. Uh-oh . . . Ah - ah - ACHOO! From the author of Nanny Rina's Amazing Nets comes this delightful purakau about the maunga and craters of Tamaki Makaurau. Use the QR code at the end of the story to sing along to an extremely cute action song, all about Mataoho and his many volcanos!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eQiane Matata-Sipu (Author) Qiane Matata-Sipu (Te Waiohua ki Te Ahiwaru me Te Akitai, Waikato, Ngapuhi, Ngati Pikiao, Cook Islands) is an esteemed Maori-Pasifika creative, storyteller, and award-winning journalist and photographer. She is a social activist and cultural commentator who has a 14-year career contributing to leading media publications and books across Aotearoa and the Pacific. Qiane is a regular guest speaker at women's arts, business and leadership events. She is the founder and director of NUKU and QIANE+co, and is the founding member and co-leader of Protect Ihumatao. In 2021 Qiane was awarded the Women of Influence Arts and Culture Award, and in 2023 became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for services to the arts. Her first book NUKU- Stories of 100 Indigenous Women was shortlisted in the 2022 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards for Illustrated Non-Fiction Munro Te Whata (Illustrator) Munro Te Whata is a creative artist of Maori and Niuean descent, from the village of Makefu and the iwi of Ngapuhi and Ngati Porou, based in South Auckland. Growing up on cartoons, games, and comics fuelled his imagination, but he often longed to see his own identity reflected in those stories. This led him to spend his free time drawing and creating characters that represented his culture - a connection he sought to strengthen while growing up in the city. Munro began learning animation at 16 and landed his first industry job a few years later, working on Bro'Town for four seasons. He later served as an animation director at Maori TV. After several years in animation, he explored other creative fields including game design, film, teaching, and creative direction, eventually focusing on illustration. Munro is dedicated to using visual storytelling in illustration, animation, and writing to revitalize culture for future generations, helping them affirm their identity and place. He welcomes collaboration with others who share this mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"kaikora-description-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" class=\"kaikora-description-table__section-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781776957354\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePenguin NZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePenguin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebooks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" class=\"kaikora-description-table__section-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQiane Matata-Sipu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMunro Te Whata\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor more information on our shipping policy follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/delivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ethis link\u003c\/a\u003e and for our returns policy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/online-returns-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eclick here.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n        ","brand":"United Books Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50645979496685,"sku":"9781776957354","price":20.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0541\/2565\/8281\/files\/Matihe_Achoo_9572645961965_1.jpg?v=1788950044","url":"https:\/\/marstonmoor.co.nz\/products\/matihe-achoo","provider":"Marston Moor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
