12 Huia Birds is a captivating celebration of one of our loveliest birds. Through gentle rhyme and colourful imagery it subtly conveys an environmental message — as arriving people and predators cause the huia to disappear one by one. Previously published in hardback in English, this popular book is now back with Māori text in a quality paperback. The Listener named the first edition one of its 50 Best Books for Kids 2016.
