Description
Taming the Sun is a collection of four Maori stories for children, created by award-winning New Zealand children's writer and illustrator Gavin Bishop.
This stunning book contains four classic Maori myths retold, including two well-known legends (Maui and the Sun and Maui and the Big Fish) and two less well-known legends (Rona And The Moon and Kahu The Taniwha).
Aimed at children aged 3-7 years, Gavin allows the essence of the original myths to remain while also re-telling them for a new generation of children. Taming the Sun is simply written yet powerful, and full of bold, beautiful illustrations.
