Koinei te kurī,

Nāna i whaiwhai te ngeru,

Nāna te kiore i whakamate,

Nāna i kai te māta,

I haupū rā i te whare,

Te whare nā Haki i hanga.

 ABOUT THE BOOK

“The House that Jack Built is an important book for me. It speaks of the things I care about – identity, family, tūrangawaewae.”

Illustrator, Gavin Bishop (Ngāti Mahuta; Tainui, Ngāti Pūkeko; Ngāti Awa)

“I believe this is one of the most significant books published in New Zealand - it is the story of our modern history. As well as the paperback edition, we are publishing a limited edition hardback with dust jacket, printed on the inside with the original storyboard Gavin drew before the book was pub­lished. We are also publishing the first Te Reo Māori edition of this book.” Publisher, Julia Marshall
