October Kiwi Kids Books: Day 27.

Share a New Zealand book for children or teens by a Pasifika creator

 

Whose your name? / [authors Sean Amaama and 21 others] ; [edited by Tania Maka and Dahlia Malaeulu].

Mila's Books, 2024.

Every name has a story. The Whose Your Name? Book Project brings together pieces of writing from the Tamaiti o le Pasifika class, a Pasifika enrichment class at Wainuiomata Intermediate School. These young Pasifika writers explore the meanings of Pacific island names, the cultural history behind their own, and the experiences that have shaped their understanding of identity. 

Powerful kōrero, and it so hard to believe these are intermediate children.
