NOA'S CALF

Rhondda Greig - Mallinson Rendell

Hardback NZ$27.50

Rhondda Greig is a well-known and prolific New Zealand artist who has exhibited extensively in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, France and the UK.

Her work can be seen on her attractive website.

She is lesser known for her books which include the stunning 1984 prize winning title Matarawa Cats and then in 1991 Matarawa House.

Now specialist children's book publishers Mallinson Rendel are about to launch her new book, NOA'S CALF. This most impressive publication differs from the others in that it is entirely in monochrome and it is a picture book without words relying on the evocative and appealing drawings to tell the story. The exquisite charcoal drawings will appeal to adults and kids alike.

It tells of the discovery of a young boy, Noa, of one of the miracles of life.

Noa's Calf, is to be launched on Saturday 14 February 2009 at Aratoi, Wairarapa Art and History Museum, Masterton, New Zealand. .
