Hoiho Paku
Hoiho Paku
Little Hoiho waddles down to the estuary and tries to walk elegantly like Kotuku, soar through the sky like Albatross and sing like Tui, but she finds herself lacking. As she turns to waddle back to her nest, she falls into the water ... and finds that's where she can elegantly fly.
On her first venture out of the nest, Little Hoiho admires the other birds around her and tries desperately to imitate them—with unfortunate results.
But when she accidentally trips and falls into the water, she discovers that she is no longer awkward and clumsy—she is graceful and agile!
Hoiho Paku by Stephanie Thatcher is a delightful tale of self-discovery and embracing one's unique abilities.
