Taniwha by Robyn Kahukiwa Viking Kestrel (hardback, English text) $14.95 What would you think of a greenstone, a feather and a handful of red earth if a Taniwha gave them to you? For a young Maori boy these gifts have a special meaning as symbols of the strange adventures he has riding on the Taniwha’s back. Together they visit the sea, sky and the land and meet Tangaroa, Ranginui, Papatuanuku and the fabulous hokioi bird, marvellous creatures of legend and beauty. Robyn Kahukiwa’s Taniwha is a richly illustrated story that merges Maori myth with an imaginative and colourful adventure. Robyn Kahukiwa, also known as the illustrator of Patricia Grace’s children’s books, has written a story with a unique New Zealand appeal.
