Graphic novel.

'In this series, children will learn about people, both Māori and Pākehā, who attempted to live by the most selfless of standards even in the midst of very difficult circumstances ... As a point of interest, in these stories children will discover how many Māori embraced Christian values (including forgiveness and peace) at a level that was far higher than that of the colonial armies and those settlers who oppressed them. This is New Zealand's untold story'--Publisher's website.

The screams of his people have been heard rising from the smoke and ashes. Will this be an end of Tarapīpipi's vow to always be a friend to the Pākehā?'--Back cover.
