'In a country inhabited for a mere thousand years, everyone is an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant.' ? Michael King With six books now published, The NZ Series is a valuable non-fiction resource for general readers and schools, introducing complex subjects in simple, concise terms. In this seventh volume, Philippa Werry recounts the stories and experience of migration to Aotearoa - from the first Polynesian arrivals to the Dawn Raids, from the New Zealand Company to ten-pound Poms, from Dutch and Dalmatian refugees to today's Asian Kiwi communities. Extensive illustrations and shared personal experiences bring to life an immigrant nation from a range of perspectives. New Zealand Migration will make an excellent introduction for understanding our migrant nation. The author Philippa Werry has won various awards for her books, most recently the Young Adult Fiction Award at the 2023 NZCYA Awards for her novel Iris and Me. She is known for books on New Zealand history, and Oratia published her picture book The Water Bottle in 2022. She lives in Wellington (philippawerry.co.nz).
