Te Reo Mori by Hmi Kelly

Music by Maree Sheehan

This is an interpretation of an aspect of the Mori creation story, from Aotearoa (New Zealand), told from the point of view of Mahuika, the goddess of fire, which describes how her grandson the demi-god Mui tricked her into giving away all of her power so that he could control the light and warmth on earth.

Produced in association with Copyright Licensing New Zealand Cultural Fund, the Aho Wahine series of digital graphic novels breathe new life into the traditional stories of Aotearoa/New Zealand, by re-imagining them from the point of view of the female characters.

This series also features synchronized text and audio in both the Mori and English languages, as well as the Swipe-to-Read function which allows the reader to hear and play back the story at their own pace.

Other features include:

The Auto Play function for you to enjoy the pre-recorded narration.

Tap to hear pronounciation and double-tap to hear phonetics/spelling.

Colour in images from the story

The Use the My Narration function to read and record the story yourself and customise your book.

Extensive notes on the storytelling, and background information on the artists and musicians involved in this project.
