Maui and the Sun | The Sun and Time Book
$15
A retelling of a traditional tale from New Zealand.
Follow the clever demigod Māui as he tackles his greatest challenge yet: a sun that races across the sky too quickly, leaving the days too short for cooking, fishing, and farming. With the help of his brothers and ropes woven from strong flax, Māui sets a trap to catch the sun and slow its journey.
This legendary tale of courage, teamwork, and clever problem-solving teaches young readers how our days became long and bright.
The non fiction “flip side” contains 8 pages of facts – sun science, measurement of time, clocks through the ages, ornate New Zealand clocks.
24 pages.
