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.

The first story, Māui and the Sun, is being prepared and will open here free — no account needed.
