Because I’m Māori

A simple children’s rhyming picture book promoting positive cultural identity, basic te reo Māori and whakapapa.

This brilliant bilingual book takes the reader from the marae to the maunga, and into the moana and celebrates the importance of whanāu and being proud of who you are, all accompanied by lively illustrations.

It also features the musical score of the song Because I’m Māori with verses in English and te reo Māori. The simple children’s rhymes and basic te reo Māori will have children and adults singing along in no time.
