Hina, the Maori moon goddess, has 30 different faces to help illuminate life’s lessons—a different face and a different energy for each day of the month. And with her changing light, new insights are revealed. This book gives us the chance to connect to the ancient wisdom of the old people, who reach forward into our lives, with each of the moon’s names as their offerings. Their reminders are a source of strength in our strange modern world, where we have been stripped of much of the connection and relationships we need for our wellbeing through successive lockdowns.

Kia ora. Nau mai ki Aroha. He matapono tenei mea, te aroha, no te ao Maori, no mai ano. He taonga te aroha no te whatumanawa, e rongo ai te tangata i te hononga ki te ao wairua, ki te ao kikokiko, ki te taiao whanui hoki. Whaia nga ara e nui ake ai te na o te manawa me te ngakau atawhai o tetahi ki tetahi, o te tangata ki a ia ano, o te tangata ki tona ao, ma te nui ake o te aroha i o tatou na ao.

Maori child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder has shaped her beloved book Aroha into this special collection of whakatauki and whakatauaki for mokopuna of all ages.
