The latest adorable bilingual adventure featuring Little Rabbit and his friends.

It is almost Mother’s Day, and Little Rabbit and his friends are preparing something special to surprise their mothers.

This ninth adorable adventure in a series of bilingual books with simple text offers an accessible introduction to basic reo Māori vocabulary for young readers and their whānau. The soft, beautiful illustrations by Kimberly Andrews are full of warmth, detail, and playful energy.

Rāpeti and friends secretly plan a surprise for their mums, showing children that you don’t need to spend money to spoil Mum – the simplest, messiest ideas can be the most appreciated.
