Peter Gossage's award-winning Maori myth is now available in a bilingual Maori-English edition, featuring Merimeri Penfold's translation.

He poto rawa nga ra, he roa rawa nga po. Oti ana i a Maui he whakaaro e ata rere ai te ra i te rangi.
He putanga reo Maori-reo Pakeha o tenei tino pakiwaitara o Aotearoa.

Faced with very short days and very long nights, Maui comes up with a plan to slow the Sun's passage through the sky.
Peter Gossage's much-loved retelling of this famous Maori myth has captivated young children for generations.
