Summary

Weaving a beautiful narrative of heritage, culture and the enduring strength of family bonds, The Lost Words is a daughter's account of her mother's journey through the rich tapestry of te reo Maori

My Mum is collecting words.

You see, a long time ago,
lots of the words were left out or replaced.
Slowly they were forgotten.

A powerful and moving story that will appeal to young readers and adults alike.

Author Biography

Kimberley Kearney (Author)
Kim Ngareta Kearney (Ngati Maniapoto, Tuhoe) spent many years as a primary school teacher where she developed a love for sharing stories with young minds. Embarking on a journey to re-indigenise her whanau and reclaim the language that was lost generations before, Kim was inspired to write The Lost Words as a tribute to her and many others' rediscovered treasure, te reo Maori. You can find Kim on Instagram @kimkearney_author.
