A living story library

Pūrākau, retold for tamariki — in te reo Māori and English.

Illustrated digital picture books of Māori myths and legends for children aged 5–8. Read each story in English, te reo Māori, or both side by side — with narration you can play, pause, and follow.

These are modern retellings, researched and openly attributed — not an authoritative archive. Every story carries its sources and its review status, honestly stated.

Māui and the Sun is open to everyone — no account needed. Its text and artwork are provisional while research and review are completed.
