♫ Mānawatia a Matariki! Happy Matariki! ♫
Although we celebrate Matariki, in Aotearoa – New Zealand, this weekend with a public holiday, Matariki is actually the Pleiades star cluster and the Matariki New Year is celebrated when it’s first easily seen in late June or early July (next year the long weekend for Matariki will be in July!)
To celebrate, this weekend, I read THE STOLEN STARS OF MATARIKI, the first in a series of stories by Miriama Kamo and Zak Waipara, which celebrate the starts in the Matariki cluster.
Also, this weekend we add another episode of You and Me to our channel @YouandMeNZ. These episodes are from a TV programme your folks might have watched when they were kids!
And on @treehut tv , Suzy & Friends in a Podcast you can hear me read the story THE MONARCHS OF AOTEAROA and share some other fun facts about these amazing butterflies.
You can also find the lyric video for my latest song HERE COMES THE PARADE! Do you like the Big Brass Boogie Band?
Mānawatia a Matariki!
