Description
From singer-songwriter June Pitman-Hayes comes this rousing and fortifying new waiata for Kiwi children from all backgrounds, celebrating the strength in community, with the focus from a child’s everyday viewpoint.
This book features an accompanying CD of the heart-warming song, with its catchy, easy-to-learn melody, sung in English and Māori by June Pitman-Hayes, with harmonies by popular NZ entertainer, Pio Terei.
By the creator of the popular Kia Ora You Can Be a Kiwi Too and Tāwhirimātea: A Song for Matariki.
Perfectly paired with the charming illustrations of Minky Stapleton, Kia Kaha exhibits diversity in race, culture, and ability. It is perfect for all the children and whānau of Aotearoa and universal in its message.
