Me and Esther moment time at the wharepukapuka
Sliding through the new library hoping to get some maori books out looking at people from far distance finding an idea for my manu tukutuku. Smelling perfume from the shelf thinking to ourselves we should get a book that smells nice giggling away. Everybody sitting on the ground to listen to the Turituri story. “Kotahi rakau,” Matua Joe harawera starts singing a song he teaches us how to sing the words then we join in and start to sing the song.
