UP CLOSE TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF OUR NATIVE TREES

This beautifully illustrated and handsomely packaged guide to the evolution, habitats and variety of the rakau (trees) and ngahere (forests) of Aotearoa for young readers is written and illustrated in award-winning Ned Barraud's hallmark accessible, informative and captivating style.

Featuring gatefolds and framed throughout by core matauranga Maori and the expertise of curators at Te Papa, New Zealand's national museum, Rakau takes young readers from pre-history to the present day. It introduces key species and highlights the significance and use of different native trees and the impact of humans on their vitality.

Ideal for both the library and home, this engrossing book helps young readers discover what makes our rakau so special and worthy of our care.
