She's 4½ years old, curious and thoughtful, always noticing the small things others walk past — shells in the sand, feathers on the path, stories in everyday moments. She lives between home, Nana's house, and the beach, with her whānau close by. Her older brother Nuku is always off on an adventure, her little sister Manawa follows along behind, and Tia is often somewhere in the middle — watching, wondering, collecting treasures in her kete pikau. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to access\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Versions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of the English versions are loaded up to You Tube as read aloud with voice over for people to view and provide feedback.
