Pakupaku Pīwakawaka

Also available from all good bookstores and library and online providers

Pakupaku Pīwakawaka is a child of the god Tane and serves as protector of his forest. As each predator attempts to enter the forest, Pīwakawaka greets them with his distinctive tweet. “Tī-ā-tī-ā-tītā-kāti… Stop!” The intruders must explain themselves, and it is determined who will be sent away and who will remain!

Pakupaku Pīwakawaka is a creative non-fiction picture book in Marion’s nature series. It’s beautifully illustrated by New Zealand artist Anna Evans and teaches children about the predators of our native forest through the eyes of a bold yet endearing fantail. It begins with an information page about pīwakawaka and ends with one about what kids can do to help protect our forests.
