A day with grandad showing in simple, beautiful images the bond between grandfather and child: a small hand in a big one, big gumboots and little, kai, korero and a snooze to finish

Koro is a warm and universal board book in te reo Maori about a day with grandad. The bond between grandfather and child is shown through big, beautiful images and simple Maori text. The child and their koro explore the day – they go for a walk, collect food from the garden, eat, tell stories, and snuggle up for a rest to finish.

Industry Reviews

"It reminded me of my relationship with my koro; there were few words between us but plenty of unspoken love and tenderness."
