"A simple, striking new board book that we predict will be in every
ECE in the country soon – it ties into certain curriculum strands
beautifully, but more than that: it’s a book that builds kids
up."
*The Spinoff*
"With supreme skill, Bishop encapsulates each element of the mihi,
that Māori statement of self, in terms of waka, maunga, awa … right
down to the child reciting it."
*The Listener, 50 Best Kids' Books of 2020*
"Mihi is a taonga, a treasure for all New Zealand
