Koro

A day with grandad in te reo Māori showing in simple, beautiful images the bond between grandfather and child: a small hand in a big one, big gumboots and little, kai, kōrero and a snooze to finish.

"Like Mihi, Koro is a starting point for conversation—the simplicity of the images and text lets us build our own stories about our own days with our grandfathers."  Julia Marshall, Publisher
