Popular NZ picture book back in print


BIDIBIDI
Story and pictures by Gavin Bishop
Scholastic - paperback - $19.50

Nice to see this popular very New Zealand story by veteran author/illustrator Gavin Bishop is back in print.
The story was first published in hardcover by OUP back in 1982, the first paperback edition was published by Scholastic in 1991, and now this redesigned edition is published by Scholastic in 2014. Bravo.


Bidibidi, a high country sheep in the South Island of New Zealand is tired of her boring life and a scanty diet of dry mountain grass. She decides to follow the rainbow in search of a more meaningful life. After many exciting and at times life-threatening adventures she meets Rainbow Jackson, the old rainbow maker. Her life is about to change forever …
