An enterprising book in Te Reo and English teaching the important Maori concepts of kaitiakitanga and rahui is just going into its second print run. Te haerenga o Piri - Piri's Adventure - is a colouring book, designed by four Northland high school students, intended for much younger children and the adults who read it to them.
