This Land Aotearoa: Ko Aotearoa te whenua nei | Christine Dale; Kiwa Hammond

Aotearoa, from coast to coast.

Simple text and colourful images take you on a journey across the stunning landscape of Aotearoa; described both in te reo Māori and English.

Wonderfully colourful images of the landscape of New Zealand, Aotearoa celebrating rivers, mountains, cities and towns; images that capture the joy of our land, ngā whenua.

If someone from overseas asked me what New Zealand Aotearoa looks like, I would hand them this picture book and say “like this”. This is a photographic book with the images linked by blank verse both in English and in Maori. The photographs are outstanding and the verse perceptive. It shows the mountains, the coast, the mud pools the small towns, the farm, the lakes and a view from space. This is for everybody from 5 years to adult. Good for the library and the dressing table. A gift from New Zealand Aotearoa. - BobsbooksNZ.
