New Zealand has the world’s best summers and the magic of being a kid is still alive in Kiwi backyards. This summer, Bella/Ngāpera, Jacob/Hākopa and Lucas help Nana/Kui grow, harvest and eat an amazing garden while filling every day with new te reo Māori learning and bunches of awesome memories.

This new title from Nana’s Shed Books is the third in a series of bilingual New Zealand children’s picture books by the Wellington writer and illustrator team, Marie Munro and Rachel Doragh with translation by accredited Māori translator, Piripi Walker.

Rachel Doragh’s lively illustrations bring the story to life in an authentic Kiwi vegetable garden and Piripi Walker’s translation abounds with fruit and vegetable names in English and Māori.
