Illustrated By Gavin Bishop

A simple and bright board book about emotions in te reo Maori, from an award-winning author and illustrator. Through the up-close expressive faces of a child and their dog, we learn the Maori words for a range of feelings in this new book by Gavin Bishop for the smallest children. Taku kuri pai. (my good dog) Kei te koa ia. Kei te riri ia. (my dog is happy, angry) Taku hoa pumau. (my best friend) This boldly illustrated board book is a starting point to talk about how we feel with babies and toddlers. Key words describe the many emotions a dog can go through in a short time, while the expressions on the faces of the people nearby convey a whole new raft of feelings as they respond and react. And so the story becomes one of friendship and how our friends make us feel. A warm story to share with babies, toddlers and preschoolers showing a multi-ethnic family. With a gender-neutral child and inclusive illustrations, Friend is a tool for talking about colours, expressions, emotions and actions with young children drawn from te ao Maori. The simplicity of the words and pictures lets readers build their own stories about how they feel in te reo Maori. Companion title to Friend, E Hoa follows Mihi and Koro in Gavin Bishop's board book series for the very young.
