Taea ngā Whetū

Written and illustrated by Dawn McMillian and Keinyo White | translated into te reo Māori by Ngaere Roberts

This is the bilingual 10th anniversary edition of Colour the Stars

 Isaac and Luke are friends. Luke is blind and believes that he doesn't need colours but Isaac can't imagine a world without them. Isaac decides to teach his friend about them, but how do you describe colour to someone who is blind?

Isaac must appeal to Luke's other senses, and what follows are vivid descriptions exploring smell, touch, taste and sound as Isaac tries to convey a sense of what colours are like.

This is sweet story of friendship that shows younger readers kindness, appreciating others' differences and inclusion.
