This book is a Finalist in the Picture Book Category, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.

In Maori.
Everyone loved Old Hu-Hu. But nobody loved him quite as much as little Hu-Hu-Tu. Old Hu-Hu is a thoughtful tale of young Hu-Hu-Tu's search for understanding of what has happened to his beloved Old Hu-Hu, who flew all the way to the moon (or so they said), then fell down dead. Sensitively written, this is a beautiful story of death and the celebration of life, with powerful, evocative illustrations by Rachel Driscoll.
Translated into Maori by Katerina Mataira.

Published by: taramea

This delightful picturebook tells the tale of three quirky whitebait friends - Whitey, Freddy and Tere - and their lifetime struggle to survive their home-bound journey. Having avoided being eaten at the egg-stage by predator mice (who think whitebait are chocolate) they leave behind the coastal waters of Aotearoa and head inland. But after the 15th August they have an upstream battle. They suddenly become morsels and fritters. If they survive the human fritter craze, slimy under-water things watch them closely. Then Freddy suddenly disappears inside a slippery, slimy, slithery eel. However, whanaungatanga (kinship) prevails and without hesitation, Whitey swims into the eel to save his friend. Tere tries desperately to distract the eel from juicing his friends up. How do they possibly escape such an awesome foe?
