World Kid Lit Month 2020: Day 10: Haere, Farewell Jack

Day 10: Haere: farewell, Jack, farewell by 

Tim Tipene; illustrated by Huhana Smith (2005). 

Also available in te reo Māori, translated by Manu Te Awa. 

I have read quite a few books about death over the years, and this one has stuck. 

It is a beautiful exploration of the cycle of life, through one year of a whānau - and including life and death.
