KIA HOU TAKU TOU! / I NEED A NEW BUM By Dawn McMillan Illustrated by Ross Kinnaird Translated by Stephanie Huriana Fong Oratia Books; RRP: $19.99 Paperback Te reo Māori is the superstar in this latest edition of this bestselling book.

For tamariki 3+. ROO AND VLADIMIR (AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP) By Minky Stapleton Scholastic; RRP: $19.99 Paperback This is another heart-warming and fun story about friendship, accepting others, difference, helping and being welcoming to others. This is a story about a very large dog, Roo, who cannot make friends due to other dogs being scared of him, that is until a very small dog, Vladimir takes a liking to Roo. The book has a light touch using humour both within the text and illustrations to tell the story. For children 2.5+. LEILONG’S TOO LONG! By Julia Liu Illustrated by Bei Lynn Gecko Press; RRP: $19.99 Paperback; $29.99 Hardback This self-affirming book reminds us that we are all different including having different strengths. I really like how the language of the story is so relatable and down-to-earth reflecting honest emotions along with the clever child-like illustrations that too express vivid emotions. This child-like simplicity gently gifts young children the words to help express their own feelings. For children 2+. September 2022 { 43 }
