Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.
For
Toddlers and adults reading Aotearoa-set stories together
Worth noticing
The first story is a seven-page tap-through tale with English and te reo Māori titles.

Field notes

The homepage organizes the project as a small story shelf rather than a single landing-page pitch. “Little Pīwakawaka” uses a seven-page, tap-to-turn format, while the other listed tales place a trout and baby kōura in a rushing creek, the Sun on a kite-flying beach at Paraparaumu, and a stag and kiwi in the Ruahine. A separate picture-based fantail hunt adds a simple activity layer.
