Follow the Pohutukawa babies as they set out on canoe adventure and make many forest friends along the way in this gem of a story from 1955. In an old pohutukawa tree between the forest and the sea live two tiny Pohutukawa Babies, Hutu and Kawa. With the help of Grandpa Kiwi, Hutu and Kawa build a canoe and set off up the river to explore the forest. On their way they make many new friends - and encounter the fearsome Bush Hawk. During the 1950s children enjoyed the adventures of the Pohutukawa Babies in the New Zealand Herald each week, and Avis Acres' books, with beautiful watercolour illustrations showcasing native flora and wildlife, became bestsellers. The Adventures of Hutu and Kawa is the first tale in the classic series. This hardback edition captures all the charm of the original tale and brings these delightful characters to a new generation of children. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Americans will find not only exotic flora and fauna, but some other terms and objects that are puzzling to people who don't have any background in Maori culture. Despite being visually of European descent, the little pohutukawa fairies wear feather cloaks and carry flax kits (bags woven from flax) and make canoes with greenstone axes. On the one hand, you have to worry about cultural appropriation and dehumanizing Native populations. On the other hand, to an American eye it's refreshing that a book written in the 50s assumes that these things are familiar to all readers and are part of patterns of normal life; it's hard to imagine a similar book anthropomorphizing American flowers into white-appearing people who follow Native American traditions without comment or explanation.
