Ko Pania Christine Papa tēnei - he matanga reo, he wahine toa ia - ko te pou reo o Kotahi Rau Pukapuka

I te 11 karaka i tēnei ata, whakarewatia te pukapuka o Dr. Hinemoa Elder ko 'Aroha' ki Te Kura o Te Kao, heoi ko ēnei pukapuka;

Te Aupōuri tangata, Te Kao kāinga, nōu te reo rāhiri kia maiangi ake te pukapuka 12 a Kotahi Rau Pukapuka me Penguin Random House, a Aroha, i Te Kura o Te Kao i te ata nei, i raro i te korowai manaaki o ngā whakamoemiti o te hāhi Rātana; tēnei ka mihi.
He mea tuhi te puka nei e Tākuta Hinemoa Elder nō Ngāti Kurī, nō Te Rarawa, nō Te Aupōuri, nō Ngāi Takoto, nō Ngāpuhi hoki.
He mea whakamāori e Kohekohe Pihama nō Ngāti Awa, nō Waikato me Kāi Tahu.
Kua tāraia te mana o te aroha i roto i ngā whakataukī e 52, hei arataki i tā tātou noho i te ao nei. Hei tā Hinemoa, "mā ērā e whakatuwherahia ai ngā whakaaro me te ngākau, e wātea ai te huhua o ngā...whakatinanatanga o te aroha..."
E rere atu nei te AROHA ki a koutou:
Foundation North, Aurecon, Hesketh Henry, Goodman Property; tae atu ki tā koutou tautoko i te whakarewanga, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, tēnā rā koutou katoa. 💚💛❤️

Kua ara ake tā KRP pukapuka #14 Matariki ki te Ao, he mahitahi ki Scholastic NZ.

He mea tuhi e Living by The Stars with Professor Rangi Matamua rāua ko Miriama Kamo.
He mea whakamāori e Leon Blake rāua ko Pānia Papa.
He mea tā ngā whakaahua e Isobel Joy Te Aho-White.

Nō te 30 o Mei tū ai te whakarewanga i Rongomaraeroa i Te Papa Tongarewa.
Nei rā te mihi maioha ki a Hollie Smith rātou ko ngā kaimahi nō Te Papa i manaaki ai i te kaupapa. Nā Watene Campbell rāua ko Leroy de Thierry ngā karakia i taki hei whakatō mauri ki te pukapuka hou.

E rere ana ngā mihi ki a CNZ mōna i tautoko ā-pūtea i te whakamāoritanga o te pukapuka me tōna whakarewanga. Mei kore ake anō hoki te tautoko ā-pūtea a Te Taura Whiri i Te Reo Māori.

When acknowledging the kaikarakia, Rangi explained -

“The words in the karakia are to imbue this publication with its own life force, its own essence,
so that the knowledge within it is taken on by people who are interested and is shared with the intent with which it was written.”

Hei tā Pānia - “I whakaaro ahau e tika ana kia whakamāoritia e KRP tēnei pukapuka i tuhia e Miriama rāua ko Rangi. Ko tēnei taonga e whakarerea ana e mātou ki ngā tamariki o te anamata, kī katoa ana i te whakaaro nui ki te taiao. E tino korekore haere nei tērā hononga o tātou ki tō tātou taiao. Nā konā, koinei tētehi taonga e pīrangi nei au ki te whakarere mai ki ngā mokopuna o āpōpō.”

Mānawatia a Matariki ❤️
