A new book is celebrating Maoritanga and the true stories of Maori who have achieved incredible things. The book Kia Kaha, by Stacey Morrison and Jeremy Sherlock, documents 49 Maori people and groups who blazed a trail, and in their way changed the world. It features people like Sir Apirana Ngata, Patricia Grace, Billy T James, Meri Te Tai Mangakahia, and many more. It's a beautiful book filled with glorious illustrations by 12 Maori artists and while it's targeted at young people, it will be sure to attract readers of any age. Kathryn speaks with the authors; Stacey Morrison a broadcaster and a champion of Te Reo Maori, and Jeremy Sherlock a writer, editor, and publisher interested in all things Maoritanga.
