About the storyteller (Author)
The storyteller lives in New Zealand and is surrounded by 68,000 Kiwi, 55 Māui dolphins and 200 Kapitia skinks.
I am passionate about conservation in New Zealand (also called Aotearoa) and will be donating from each book purchased to the charities below.
Save the kiwi
New Zealand used to be home to millions of kiwi. Today, there are only 68,000. Save the Kiwi is on a mission to rebuild the kiwi population. Join the cause to return kiwi to where they used to live ... before it's too late.
Māui dolphin
The Māui dolphin is one of the world’s smallest and rarest dolphins. It is now found only in the shallow coastal waters off the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is critically endangered with only between 55 to 63 Māui dolphins remaining.
Kapitia Skinks
This species of skink is confined to a narrow strip of coastal habitat and used to be known as the Chesterfield skink. In 2021 the population was estimated at only 200.
