Hineniwha me te Kaitiora (The Fierce Little Woman and the Wicked Pirate)

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Hineniwha me te Kaitiora (The Fierce Little Woman and the Wicked Pirate) is a te reo Māori edition of a beloved New Zealand picture book. This timeless tale is an unconventional love story featuring a strong female lead and a pirate with a sensitive side, exploring themes of independence and family.

The fierce little woman lived in a house at the end of a jetty. She knitted socks in blue and green wool to sell to sailors who had got their feet wet. But when there were no ships at her jetty, she was quite alone.

One stormy day, a pirate came to the house on the jetty. He stood on his toes, starting a tap-tap-tapping on the window…

After a battle of words through the jetty trapdoor, these two windswept heroes discover they are suited after all, in a warm story of a carefree family.
