This book has two themes: bullying and a teaching strategy suitable for the majority of children. The little kiwi cannot make the long sounds male kiwi’s make; the essential calls. He can only say ‘keee’ ‘keee’ ‘keee’. All the baby kiwis in the centre laugh at him and bully him because of his language. Eventually, he moves to Kaipupu Point and finds himself in the wild. There he spends many lonely nights. One night he meets a lady kiwi when out foraging for food. This kiwi hears his plight and demonstrates how to make the sounds he needs to know. The two kiwis make a nest for their egg and live happily ever after. The language will be suitable for children from 5-10 years.
