Sleep Little Kiwi, Sleep
Book Author & Illustrator Deborah Hinde
Rights Available World excl. NZ
Tūī farewell the day with a song, as the sleepy sun tiptoes away. Darkness falls, and little kiwi ventures out in search of kai. Stars shimmer and insects scuttle, but little kiwi must be careful – he isn’t the only one awake in the night forest. Sleep Little Kiwi, Sleep is written in gentle language, full of musicality and soft internal rhyme, and uses many language features to describe little kiwi’s night-time journey through the bush. Illustrated in Deborah Hinde’s trademark gorgeous colour palette, the pictures are crammed full of native New Zealand animals, some familiar and some less well-known. Sleep Little Kiwi, Sleep is the perfect introduction, and lullaby of love, to the wonders of the New Zealand bush.
