NZ Children & Young Adult | Kete Winter Reading Catalogue 2024 | Matariki

The fourth in the new Nanny Mihi series extends the nature connection from 2022's Nanny Mihi's Medicine/Te Rongoa a Nanny Mihi, with a fully bilingual text about gardening (publishing ahead of Matariki 2024). When her mokopuna arrive for the spring school holidays, they are in time to help Nanny plant her garden. As they come back each season, the kids see their labours bear fruit and on their visit in winter they enjoy their produce in a soup that 'tastes like spring and summer and autumn and winter'.
