A stunningly illustrated children's book led by a weka's curiosity. Did you know that a third of New Zealand's rare and endangered bird species are on the Chatham Islands?

Books based on the Chatham Islands are few and far between. Here is one that will endear children to an ever-present island native, the Buff weka, as well as a collection of other local birds. It will also serve to pique the interest of older readers with surprising facts and true-to-life illustrations.

With heightened interest in these remote islands due to the current climate, it seems a good time to introduce some lesser-known inhabitants. And who better to do so than the nosiest bird of them all?

One Weka Went Walking by Kate Preece is an enchanting journey through the fascinating world of these remarkable birds.
