Looking for a book that gives new meaning to whatever you're pondering every time you pick it up?
It is said that if you want to know a culture, know their proverbs. This bilingual book is a beautiful collection of whakataukī, Māori proverbs, which are a way to orally share knowledge across generations. The whakataukī are captured with photographs, English translations, and meanings. The most striking thing for us was the sense of ancestral gravity in its pages, with exquisite photography of Māori ancestors in Aotearoa New Zealand. Although you may find yourself reading from cover to cover, we found this book helpful when looking for answers or supporting others in their experiences.
