## What is Te Waka o Aoraki/Aoraki's Canoe (Early Childhood Education Version)?

This is the Ngāi Tahu story of how the mountains of Te Waipounamu / South Island were formed, looking closely at Aoraki, whose canoe is said to be part of the Southern Alps.

Children can explore the animation and sound effects, record themselves telling the story, colour in the illustrations, and more. This book also promotes letter and word recognition to help build beginner reading skills. 

Written and voiced in Te Reo Māori as well as English, this story is also available in a version for more advanced readers, with more detail, and references to other well known ancestors and atua.
