Kuwi the Kiwi Treasury by Kat Quin

This book is a true treasure; it is sure to be passed down through the generations. Five of the wildly popular Kuwi the Kiwi books are now altogether in one beautiful hardback. In addition to the award-winning stories, Kat shares insights into her artistic background and the creative process behind her storytelling and superb illustrations. Each story focuses on a different relatable challenge Kuwi faces as a parent.

Winner of the Gaelyn Gordon Award, Kuwi’s First Egg follows Kuwi, a young and confused kiwi, who has found herself alone with her newly laid egg, and not knowing quite what to do, she knits a scarf, sings a waiata and takes it out to play, but Egg doesn't seem too impressed!

Kuwi’s Huhu Hunt: Kuwi 's new chick is a very fussy chick, so she goes on a hunt to find some huhu, with a surprise ending!  

Kuwi’s Very Shiny Bum is a festive tale with a distinct Kiwi twist, as Kuwi makes Christmas gifts for her friends.

In Kuwi’s Rowdy Crowd, Kuwi tries to find a moment of peace and quiet in the chaos of parenthood, but everywhere she turns, the volume just gets louder, until Kuwi can't take it anymore!

Kuwi’s Fluey Huwi:  In this heart-warming tale, Kuwi's chick Huwi has a slight sniffle. So Kuwi embarks on a mission to track down a cure for her cheeky sick chick.

It’s not just children who will enjoy these stories, but adults too. The storylines are humorous and will resonate with families, and the illustrations are bold and beautiful.

Book sales of the series also support kiwi conservation projects, making this a bonus when you purchase this gorgeous book.
