Feathered Friends (#1 Piwakawaka People) - Donovan Bixley

WELCOME TO KĀKĀRIKI VALLEY, WHERE THE ANCIENT TREES ARE FOREST GODS AND THE BIRDS TALK - IF YOU KNOW THEIR LANGUAGE.

Hana and her whānau are Pīwakawaka People - tiny pioneers who live in harmony with the beautiful forest.

But as more tall ships arrive from far-off lands, they bring new threats to this unspoiled wilderness. Can Hana and her whānau protect the valley and the creatures who live there?

An enchanting beginner chapter book series by beloved Kiwi author and illustrator Donovan Bixley.

Donovan Bixley bridges young people out of picture books with the first in this charming series about a family of little people living next to a Pā on the coast of Aotearoa in the mid-1800s.

When you are small enough to fly around on the back of a Pīwakawaka the bush holds many charms and many dangers.

As more and more immigrant big people arrive into the same area as the local Māori big people, the world for Hana and all those around her is changing rapidly.
