Mauri

Papatuanuku then said to Ranginui, 'I need sunshine to grow my crops and trees.' Na, ka meatia a Papatuanuku ki a Rangi, 'Homai te mauri o ra kia tipu nga kakano me nga rakau.' Merryn Jones has achieved something special with her first children's book: re-imagining the creation story of Papatuanuku and Ranginui in a simple, poetic story that children of all ages can savour. Isobel Joy Te Aho-White brings the words to spectacular life, with Tuhoe Huata's translation matching the mauri (spirit) of this foundation story.
