Description

Moana Board Books is a joyful new bilingual series that takes our youngest readers on a journey across the Pacific, exploring the rich cultures of Moana Oceania. The first two books introduce the vibrant traditions of Samoa and Tuvalu.

Mea Taulima Tuvalu | Artefacts of Tuvalu journeys across the islands of Tuvalu, discovering objects such as the
delicate tui fafetuu (star seashell necklace), the ingenious faga ika (fish trap), and vibrant fou (head garlands).

Brought to life with bright, colourful illustrations by Samoan-Tongan artist Danielle Meredith, these books
celebrate language, culture and identity – and provide a connection to the Pasifik for young and curious minds.

Mea Taulima Tuvalu | Artefacts of Tuvalu was developed by Auckland Council Libraries in partnership with the Tuvalu Auckland Community Trust.
