'Everything looks so small from up here,' said Rona. 'I know,' Whaea beamed. 'Even the reasons we felt angry seem so little.'
'Hanga nohinohi ana te ao katoa atu i konei,' tā Rona. "E mea ana koe,' te mene atu a Whaea.' 'Kua hanga nohinohi hoki ngā take i pupū ai ō tāua riri.'
The beloved myth of Rona and the Moon comes to 21st-century Aotearoa in English and Maori in Tim Tipene's sensitive telling, strikingly illustrated by Tai Tokerau artist Theresa Reihana. Rona Moon gets angry with everyone - her brother, her Nana and Papa - and then one night she calls the moon stupid!
Taken to meet her ancestor Whaea Rona on the moon, she learns a lesson in how to control her temper.
