A beloved Maori legend about what happened when Rona dared to curse Te Marama, as told by the iconic author and illustrator Peter Gossage.

Gossage's classic retelling of the Maori myth of Rona and the Moon.

Rona is charged with the important task of making food ready for her family when they return from a fishing trip. As night falls, she uses the moon to light her way. But when the moon slides behind a cloud, she becomes angry and a curse sprays from her mouth.

The moon does not take her curse lightly...
