PREORDER: Māmā & Me
Preorders close 25 June 2025 and are expected to be dispatched 9 July 2025.
Nā Te Ringakaha Tia-Ward (Ngāti Toki, Nga Puhi)
Māmā and Me is a beautifully written read-aloud narrative by Te Ringakaha Tia-Ward that draws on emotion and connection to support rich, meaningful oral literacy. Centered on the relationship between a mokopuna and their grandmother, the story is designed to resonate deeply with readers and listeners alike.
This taonga supports ākonga journey through Te Huarahi Ako (Learning Journey), exploring each Ngākau in a culturally grounded, emotive way. It encourages deeper thinking and a shift toward a more wairua-based perspective, acknowledging that Te Ao Māori is a wairua world.
Māmā and Me is illustrated not with pictures, but through your imagination, allowing the readers to visualise the story in their own way and express themselves on the pages of this pukapuka. Each telling becomes personal, unique, and meaningful.
Māmā and Me can be adapted to suit different audiences, inviting every listener to step into the story and see themselves as the mokopuna — and to claim Māmā as their own. By teaching the tikanga and kawa around whāngai (adoption within Te Ao Māori), this story becomes a shared experience for all.
Use this resource, along with the power of imagination, to bring life and context to the Te Marae Model of Te Whare Tapu o Te Ngākau Māori.
We recommend that each kaiako has an original copy of Māmā and Me in their classroom to share and work on with their ākonaga.
