In this beautifully illustrated retelling of a key Polynesian myth, Māui is a schoolboy who lives with his mother and four older brothers in a city where the day is never long enough to get things done. Māui grasps the mantle: Mum, I’m gonna catch that Sun for you. That Sun who’s always on the run. With their woven flax net, the brothers drive to the pit where the Sun lives, and make their play to slow the day. This bilingual book―in English and Māori―brings Māui into the 21st century in a fun and colourful retelling, combining some of the outstanding Māori talent in books today―author Tim Tipene, illustrator Zak Waipara and translator Rob Ruha.

Warrior Kids is a pioneering program that over the past 17 years has empowered thousands of children across New Zealand, many of them from challenged backgrounds. Focusing on bringing out the warrior within, the program draws upon M&amacr;ori concepts of the warrior and Eastern martial arts in a non-aggressive way designed to instill confidence, respect and self-control, leading children to become masters of their lives. Warrior Kids: Warrior Training for Children features the complete ten sessions of the in-school program in a format that instructors can apply to their own work with young people. It has 224 pages with black & white photos throughout and 8 pages of color photos demonstrating components of the Warrior Kids program.
