Tu Meke Tui
There's more to being a bird than flying.
Tere the tūī loves to soar and fly. Taitu the takahē would rather stay low and rustle about in the undergrowth. They could hardly be more different, yet across those differences grows a warm and lasting friendship.
Tū Meke Tūī is a gentle, beautifully illustrated board book for babies and toddlers, sharing an Aotearoa story of friendship, courage, and the discovery that sometimes it's our differences that make us special and bring us together. With rich, colourful artwork by celebrated New Zealand artist Flox and words by Malcolm Clarke, it's a treasured read-aloud for the whole whānau.
Tumeke is a Māori word meaning to startle or take fright. In recent years, tu meke as two words has grown into a colloquial phrase meaning "too much", used to express excitement or being pleasantly shaken up.
