Delight your tamariki with these 24 books representing and celebrating Māori and Pasifika peoples, languages and cultures.
Visually striking and filled with fascinating and memorable fiction and non-fiction content, the PM Aotearoa books have been created for New Zealand tamariki and are predominantly written and illustrated by Māori and Pasifika authors and illustrators.
The 24 books, across PM Levels 3 – 14 (Red – Green) will inspire and delight readers, and introduce them to some very special families and stories.
Finely levelled and developed with the same rigor as all PM books, this unique collection includes words and phrases from Māori and Pasifika languages woven naturally throughout the texts.
All books include Teaching Notes on the inside front covers, including the author's inspiration for the story and cultural teaching points. More detailed teaching notes and student activities are available via the PM Guided Reading Planner.
Each book comes with an accompanying audio recording, accessible via a QR code, aiding students and teachers in the pronunciation of words and phrases from Māori and Pasifika languages.
