Description
Riding the Waves is a collection of four Maori stories for children, created by award-winning New Zealand children's writer and illustrator Gavin Bishop.
A sequel to Taming the Sun, this stunning book contains two well-known legends (Maui finds his family and Maui and the goddess of fire) and two less well-known legends (Hatupatu and the birdwoman and Rata and his waka).
Aimed at children aged 3-10 years, Gavin allows the essence of the original myths to remain while also re-telling them for a new generation of children. Riding the Waves is simply written yet powerful, and full of bold, beautiful illustrations.
