Tiaki

Aimed at intermediate age children and teenagers, Jean Donaldson's book is a shout-out to Aotearoa's weird and wonderful lesser-known endangered species, a fascinating range of creatures that don't regularly make the limelight, from geckos, bats, a mudfish that can survive out of water for a month, to the bizarre Smeagol gravel maggot.

Description

Tiaki includes such exotic animals as the Smeagol gravel maggot, a sea slug found on the south coast of Wellington; the moko kakariki, a gecko with a bright blue mouth; the kowaro/Canterbury mudfish, which can survive out of water for up to several months; and the tiny, critically endangered pekapeka-tou-roa/long-tailed bat.

Written and beautifully illustrated by Jean Donaldson, this is a highly original and inspiring book aimed at intermediate-age children and teenagers.
