NZ Children’s Book Awards
Wow man! Never would I have thought that a book I wrote would be nominated for a NZ Children’s Books award. But it happened with Freestyle: the Israel Adesanya Story that Ant Sang and I made. What an honour to attend the awards event, to hang out with awesome Kiwi writers and illustrators and be inspired by them. It makes me want to get back there every year! Not so much for the award but to be around people who are at the top of something I love to do and soak up their energy and mana! Congratulations Mat Tait winner of the Margaret Mahy Book of the Year Award for Te Wehenga: The Separation of Ranginui and Papatūānuku.
