Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Moira Wairama's stunning Maori-language retelling of the legend about two taniwha and Wellington Harbour, with illustrations by Bruce Potter.
E noha ana e rua nga taniwha i tetahi roto kanapanapa. Kei te pirangi a Ngake kia haere ki Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa engari kei te pirangi tona hoa, a Whataitai, ki te noho i te roto.
Ma to raua tautohetohe ka whakarereke te roto mo ake tonu ra.
He korero purakau tenei mo te hangatanga o Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara.
Winner of the LIANZA Te Kura Pounamu Award 2012
