Māori Boy: A Memoir of Childhood

Holly says: "A celebrated memoir and winner of the Ockham New Zealand Book Award in 2016, this is the first of two volumes exploring Witi Ihimauera’s childhood and early life growing up as Māori. If you’ve seen the film The Whale Rider, it’s adapted from one of Ihimaera’s stories. I’m also planning to pick up a copy of his collection Navigating the Stars: Maori Creation Myths."
