Peter Gossage?s Maui Series is well-known and loved. The six titles of the series have been repackaged and redesigned for a new generation of readers, without losing the integrity of the initial artwork. The books follow Maui?s birth, his abandonment by his mother and his search for her, his search for his father and discovery and eventual owners of his grandfather?s magic jawbone, and his fishing up of Te Ika a Maui (the North Island). How Maui Found his Mother is the story of how Maui?s mother relinquishs her baby to the sea, thinking he has died. As a young man he seeks her out and is reunited with her.
