Kuwi's Huhu Hunt follows the endearing journey of Kuwi the Kiwi as she takes her Chick on his first huhu hunt. With dreams of making huhu hangi, huhu hummus, and huhu BBQ, this story takes young readers on an adventure through the eyes of an endangered brown kiwi navigating the challenges of motherhood.

This delightful tale, crafted by a well-known author and illustrator, celebrates the parent-child bond with simplicity and charm. It's written for young children, but offers a narrative that parents can both enjoy and relate to.

The book is illustrated with amazing, detailed, and vibrant artwork, with wee native gems hidden throughout the pages, adding an extra layer of fun for readers to discover.

Kuwi's Huhu Hunt is the second instalment in a series that is fast becoming a New Zealand classic. As part of its commitment to conservation, the Kuwi the Kiwi series proudly supports the Kiwi's for Kiwi Trust. From each book sale, 20 cents are donated to aid kiwi conservation projects in New Zealand, amassing a total donation of $1100 so far.
