Hello! Kia ora! Welcome new friend! Is a perfect read aloud book to help teachers, families and children feel welcome in their Early Learning Centres.
Ruby goes from feeling like an outsider, to feeling like she belongs to her new kindergarten family. These preschool kids have learnt a smile is easy to do and costs nothing to share and their kind actions have a transforming effect.
What people are saying about the book:
“It is an awesome book. My 3-year-old grandson here in Queensland greets me with, “Kia ora Nana.” Makes my heart melt. V.S”
“This book oozes with kindness, connection and belonging.”
“Hello! Kia ora! Welcome new friend! is such an amazing book for settling new tamariki into a centre. We were lucky enough to have the lovely Rachel come to our centre, Nga Reo E Rua, and read to our tamariki. S.T”
