How The Kiwi Lost Its Wings

How The Kiwi Lost Its Wings by Alwyn Owen is a popular New Zealand childrens story.

Long ago when the world was new, the kiwi lived in the treetops with the other birds and played and sang all day long.

Who of all the birds will answer Tane’s plea and what sacrifices will need to be made?

Beautifully illustrated by Dave Gunsen, this lovely book is a must-have for any young New Zealand child!
