October Kiwi Kids Books: Day One

Share a New Zealand book for children or teens: with purple on the cover: 

The Witch of Maketu and the Bleating Lambs
Author: Anika Moa
Illustrator: Rebecca Ter Borg.
Publisher: Puffin / Penguin Random House, 2024. 
ISBN: 9781776958184



Let me share some of the reasons why I love this book, in no particular order: 
  1. Anika Moa and her sense of humour. 
  2. Rebecca Ter Borg's illustrations. 
  3. Uncle Hemi. 
  4. The lambs. 
  5. The Witch. 
  6. The moral. I'm sure being a knitter is one of the reasons I'm not evil. 


As a bonus, here is Anika singing The Witch of Maketu.
