Summary: My family tree grows over the sand. Its droopy tendrils tickle my hands. I'll pretend I'm a pirate sailing over the sea on a ship I call hairy armpit tree! From singer-songwriter, June Pitman-Hayes comes a story told in both English and Maori that celebrates the family trees (literal trees) of a diverse range of children. From pohutukawa to olive, to flowering cherry even to the humble apple tree, which feeds its community. (Publisher)
Text in English and Maori.
