Tahi the Tuatara is down in the dumps and no matter what his friend, Roger the Ruru tries, nothing seems to change his mood. It’s not until they answer a cry for help that their journey takes an unexpected turn.
'Tu Meke Tuatara!' is a story about empathy, friendship and discovering that sometimes the best way we can feel better about ourselves, is to help someone else.

About the author:
With a background in television and a wide variety of creative
interests, Malcolm has found his niche telling heart-warming kids’
stories about the natural world. The success of his first book, Tu
Meke Tūī!, showed just how powerful it is when children get to
learn about the environment in a fun and accessible way.
Malcolm believes that teaching children about conservation from an
early age will help to prepare them to be kaitiaki (guardians) who
care for their world now and in the future.
He is thrilled to add Tu Meke Tuatara! to the collection of Tu Meke
Tales.
About The Illustrator:
An aerosol and stencil artist with a degree in fine arts, Flox is
one of New Zealand’s most recognised contemporary artists. She
first made her mark on Auckland’s inner-city landscape in 2003. Her
trademark native birds, ferns and flowers are a celebration of New
Zealand’s environmental taonga (treasures), and her work also has
international appeal.
Through her work, Flox redefines what it is to be a practising
artist in the twenty-first century.
