Dear Moko by Dr Hinemoa Elder

Māori child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder has shaped her beloved book Aroha into this special collection of whakataukī and whakatauakī for mokopuna of all ages.

Dear Moko is written for all mokopuna, grandchildren, descendents. It is their very own book with stories from whakataukī and whakatauakī, our Māori proverbs.

A treasure-book revealing new secrets every time you read it. Some stories will make you smile and laugh out loud. Others invite you to think about difficulties you are facing in a different way. These are timeless words to live by, life lessons to inspire, for generations to come.

With illustrations by Miriama Grace-Smith.
