How Kiwi Lost his Wings | Being Kiwi Book
$15
Discover the powerful Māori myth of how the Kiwi became New Zealand’s most treasured icon.
Once a bird of the sunny canopy with magnificent, colourful wings, the Kiwi made the ultimate sacrifice to save the forest. When bugs threatened to destroy the ancient trees, the forest god called for a hero to live on the dark, damp ground. While other birds looked away, the Kiwi bravely stepped forward—trading its bright feathers and flight for strong legs and a life in the shadows to protect its home.
A timeless tale of putting the greater good ahead of personal comfort.
