Book Description
The Hutu and Kawa books are New Zealand classics. During the 1950s thousands of children enjoyed the adventures of the Pohutukawa Babies in the 'N.Z. Herald' each week, and the books became best sellers. The stories and illustrations are full of the wonder of the New Zealand forest and the birds that inhabit it. Far ahead of their time, they show a real concern for the preservation of our precious wildlife and environment. THE ADVENTURES OF HUTU AND KAWA This is the first Hutu and Kawa story. It introduces the Pohutukawa Babies, their faithful adviser Grandpa Kiwi and their bush friends – the flower fairies and the birds. HUTU AND KAWA MEET TUATARA In their second adventure Hutu and Kawa bring happiness to homeless Tuatara, and help him to celebrate his hundredth birthday at a party to which all their forest friends are invited. HUTU AND KAWA FIND AN ISLAND In their third adventure Hutu and Kawa sail to a lovely island in their canoe, but discover that it is a very unhappy place. They help to get rid of a dangerous enemy, and finally return home in a most unusual way.

Book Description
In an old pohutukawa tree between the forest and the sea live two tiny Pohutukawa Babies, Hutu and Kawa. With the help of Grandpa Kiwi, Hutu and Kawa build a canoe and set off up the river to explore the forest. On their way they make many new friends - and encounter the fearsome Bush Hawk. During the 1950s children enjoyed the adventures of the Pohutukawa Babies in the New Zealand Herald each week, and Avis Acres' books, with beautiful watercolour illustrations showcasing native flora and wildlife, became bestsellers. The Adventures of Hutu and Kawa is the first tale in the classic series. This 60th-anniversary hardback edition captures all the charm of the original tale and brings these delightful characters to a new generation of children.

Book Description
Storying Plants in Australian Children’s and Young Adult Literature: Roots and Winged Seeds explores cultural and historical aspects of the representation of plants in Australian children’s and young adult literature, encompassing colonial, postcolonial, and Indigenous perspectives. While plants tend to be backgrounded as of less narrative interest than animals and humans, this book, in conversation with the field of critical plant studies, approaches them as living beings worthy of attention. Australia is home to over 20,000 species of native plants – from pungent Eucalypts to twisting mangroves, from tiny orchids to spiky, silvery spinifex. Indigenous Australians have lived with, relied upon, and cultivated these plants for many thousands of years. When European explorers and colonists first invaded Australia, unfamiliar species of plants captured their imagination. Vulnerable to bushfires, climate change, and introduced species, plants continue to occupy fraught but vital places in Australian ecologies, texts, and cultures. Discussing writers from Ambelin Kwaymullina and Aunty Joy Murphy to May Gibbs and Ethel Turner, and embracing transnational perspectives from Ukraine, Poland, and Aotearoa New Zealand, Storying Plants addresses the stories told about plants but also the stories that plants themselves tell, engaging with the wide-ranging significance of plants in Australian children’s and Young Adult literature.
