Beautiful graphic novel about Sylvia Durrant. What an impressive life and so wonderful the gift of service to birds and the people of NZ. Lovely to read her story then also the fun ways we can help wildlife in our own backyard. Good practical tips and education. Loved the "how to get a bird out of the house guide, the match chick to parents activity, the info about predators.
Informative and fun book. Will gift on, to spread the word.

E kore Au E ngaro, He kākano i ruia mai i rangiātea
I will never be lost, for I am the seed which was sown from Rangiātea

Hei tiaki i te whenua
hei tiaki i te moana
hei tiaki i te whānau
hei tiaki i ngā tamariki, mokopuna
He kaitiaki koe,
he kaitiaki au

look after the land,
look after the oceans
look after the family, the children, the grandchildren
You are a guardian
I am a guardian
