Voyage of the Ika Roa, by Heather Whelan. A real life adventure story of how a couple with no boat-building or sailing experience built a catamaran and sailed it from England to New Zealand in the 1970s. This is the author’s true account of her journey, where she learned to sail along the way and fell in love with the land, cultures and people of the Pacific. Art Works is a book for teachers packed with art ideas for use in the classroom. The Crazy Idea is a picture book - Dylan wants to be a cat... Knotted Strings is a family history story.
