The Lost Words

Weaving a beautiful narrative of heritage, culture and the enduring strength of family bonds, The Lost Words is a daughter's account of her mother's journey through the rich tapestry of te reo Māori

My Mum is collecting words.

You see, a long time ago,
lots of the words were left out or replaced.
Slowly they were forgotten.

A powerful and moving story that will appeal to young readers and adults alike.
