Hinemoa rawa ko Tutanekai or Hinemoa and Tutanekai
is a well known true, love story. It is about two young people who wanted to live together on Mokoia Island in the middle of Lake Rotorua. Hinemoa was a princess and Tutanekai was an illegitimate child who was not considered goo...d enough for Himemoa. He was a famous flute player.

They lived a long and happy life and many of the Rotorua Maori are decedents of them.
This is a bilingual book with accompanying cd. There are also waiata pertaining to the story such as Pokare kare ana.
The book is beautifully illustrated by Kay Quin Merewether and the CD is compiled by Rodger Cunningham.
Many stories have been written about Hinemoa and Tutanekai but are now out of print.

Starting day care, using the toilet or moving to a big bed are life events that can be taken for granted. For toddlers, preschool children and their parents, these achievements can seem monumental in scale.
The series of five books is centred on the adventures of two preschool ...aged characters, Sophia and Mason, and cover several of the early milestones faced by children aged two to five years of age.
The books are titled: Mason's First Day at Day Care; Sophia Moves into a Big Bed; Sophia's First Visit to the Dentist; Mason's First Day at School and Sophia/Mason Learns to Use the Loo.
"The world can be an awe-inspiring yet scary place for toddlers and preschoolers. They face a lot of challenges as part of growing up and until you become a parent, or work with young children, it is not something that you give a lot of thought to. This series of books came about as a means of explaining these milestones to our own children in a fun way so that they become more comfortable with these steps. With Sophia and Mason, preschoolers have two characters they can relate to directly through their own journey growing up.
