A heartwarming children's story for a special friendship.

The "Peka and Koro: Friends of the Forest" book is a heartwarming children's book of a special friendship between Peka, the lesser short-tailed bat, and Koro, an old kauri snail.

Peka the bat leaves the family roost on her first solo flight. It turns into a BIG night of adventure when she meets other unique nocturnal native New Zealand creatures!

A fun book of rhymes, stunning watercolour illustrations and TReo Māori incorporated, it's educational, too, as it offers facts about New Zealand's forest creatures of the night. A great read for the whole family!

Karyn - Author

My first book, Kererū's BBQ was inspired by my daughter Indie and our many visits to the Bay, exploring the picturesque surroundings and getting to know all the stunning, friendly and well fed local birds. Indie and I love all creatures, especially our native birds! I'm not one to sit still for long, everyday Indie and I are out adventuring with our dog Roxy and I always have creative projects on the go, usually starting one before finishing the last haha. I hope you and your little ones love our books.

Jess - Illustrator

Kia ora, thank you for reading our books with your little ones. I have enjoyed getting up close and personal creating these illustrations of these wonderful New Zealand natives. My family and I love the outdoors and are so grateful to call this place home. I have two adventurous, animal loving, fast growing boys, Blake and Keanu whom I’ve loved sharing this books journey with. I am also Mum to a black and white cat called Lola.

Ashley has gone out of her way to help me every time I've ordered, and honestly I'm starting to order more and more. It's hard to find truly eco baby products you can trust. It's so nice that Ashley has done the work for me. Postage is fast, communication is prompt and the website is lovely to use.
