New Zealand, you had me at Kia ora. Love You, New Zealand, North Island is a cozy, watercolor bedtime book that takes little readers (and the grown-ups who read “just one more page”) on a goodnight wander through Aotearoa, full of friendly moments, dreamy scenery, and gentle giggles. We’ll wave goodnight to green-on-green hills, splashy shores, boats that know how to cruise , and skies so starry they basically deserve applause. Along the way, there are tiny jokes tucked between the snuggly lines, because bedtime can be calm and a little cheeky. Perfect for: New Zealand families and little locals - Expats and homesick hearts missing home - A sweet souvenir after a trip (or a “wish we were there” read) - Ages 1–10, plus any adult who enjoys a pun with their pajamas If you’re looking for a soothing bedtime story that feels like a warm hug, and a love letter to New Zealand, this one’s for you. Warning: this book may cause sudden cravings for fish and chips, spontaneous “aww,” and an urgent need to visit New Zealand.
