Tahi: One Lucky Kiwi H/B
Author(s): Melanie Drewery
WINNER OF PICTURE BOOK CATEGORY NEW ZEALAND POST BOOK AWARDS 2008
This is the true story of the remarkable team effort to save a kiwi that lost its leg. The fictional narrator of the story is a schoolboy who is doing a project on kiwi. This is very much a multi-layered story with the tale of the kiwi running alongside the story of the boy and his attempts to impress his teacher. As well as those stories, great factual detail about kiwi appears in the boy's notebook on every spread.
Weta Workshop, the Artificial Limb Centre and Wellington Zoo all joined forces to provide this kiwi with an artifical leg. This is a truly amazing conservation story.
First published 2007.
