Nanny Jo and the Wild Mokopuna

This touching story is about a whanau dealing with the illness and passing of their nanny.

This text shares with us another aspect of Matariki. It explains how Taramainuku sails Te Waka o Rangi across the sky to gather the spirits of all those who have passed over the previous year. Then when the stars of Matariki reappear they guide Te Waka o Rangi back into the sky so that the spirits can be released to continue their journey.

I will be sharing this book every Matariki as we celebrate the New Year and farewell the spirits.
