  • Joy Cowley: Kiwi Storyteller

    $9.95$24.95 + GST

    Joy Cowley is one of New Zealand’s most beloved writers. She’s written books for all ages and won lots of awards. But you wouldn’t have thought that could happen if you’d known Joy at primary school. That’s because she struggled with literacy as a child and couldn’t even read back then. A challenging family situation made life even harder for this future Kiwi legend.

    What helped Joy overcome these obstacles and become the icon she is today? Stories did.

    Find out how in Joy Cowley: Kiwi Storyteller.

    “I am amazed at the breadth and depth of the research. David shows a real understanding of the children he teaches. That makes me feel very happy about the book. David has it right. This is my life.” Joy Cowley.
