Beddy-Bye Time in the Kōwhai TreeAbout Beddy-Bye Time in the Kōwhai Tree

A bedtime story with a mix of the familiar bathtime to bedtime routine and a sprinkling of moonlit magic.

Six taniwha, all looking at me, sing “Beddy-bye time in the bubbly-white sea.”

It’s almost bedtime and a young child counts objects, including kererū, taniwha, kea and sheep. Beddy-Bye Time in the Kōwhai Tree is a wonder-filled, playful counting story written in flawless rhythm and rhyme by award-winning storyteller and wordsmith, Juliette MacIver.

The smatterings of te reo Māori will help ground children in the identifiably New Zealand surroundings. Lily Uivel’s gorgeous illustrations glow with warmth and life, and add a whimsical feel to a child’s everyday routine.

Juliette MacIver is an award-winning children’s picture book author of many Scholastic titles such as the hilarious and surprising Duck Goes Meow, winner of the 2023 New Zealand Best Picture Book award; the wonderful Marmaduke Duck series and numerous other picture books. She has also penned a junior fiction trilogy, Faelan the Wolf. Juliette has a Masters degree in Linguistics, and a Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. She lives near Wellington with her husband and four children.

Lily Uivel has always loved to draw more than anything else, and would spend all of her spare time sketching and studying illustration. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, she worked for years as a props maker and designer, most recently in London. Returning to New Zealand when Covid arrived, Lily decided to give illustration a go and has since illustrated more than ten children’s books. She lives in Eastbourne, Wellington, with her partner and dog.
