Ururangi - Matariki Stars

The last daughter is always rushing around and excited. How is Papatūānuku to teach this one? She rushes to be first for supper and then first to sit on her grandmother’s lap! But, in this warm embrace (awhi), Papatūānuku tells her a story, a life lessons story, so that she too has the wisdom of her sisters. These are the stories she gifts forward to others. Here are some of our favourite books for Matariki and other storytelling sources.
