Incredible connection to te ao Māori

Will be buying many copies for my whānau! Incredible book that I will refer back to often and can't wait to see how these whākatauki support my personal growth and self discovery as a māori father.

Beautiful, thank you 💚

I have the audible and a physical copy, which sits on my nightstand, the most powerful act I feel I do to set my day and to close my day is to close my eyes, flip the pages and land on a page, the page always resonates, I feel empowered, connected, grounded.

Pulled on my heart strings

Thank you so much! This book has cemented my pull to come home after living in Australia for 35 years! I related to everything but it made me realise how much I miss Aotearoa. And my fiance from Danish background could resonate with the whakatauki! It’s an absolute GOLD star from us!

Read beautifully, I’m recommending to everyone I know.
