Pukeko in a Ponga Tree
A delightful New Zealand adaptation of the classic Christmas carol 'The Twelve Days of Christmas.' The story follows a young couple celebrating the festive season by exchanging a series of quintessentially Kiwi gifts. The verses replace traditional items with uniquely Aotearoa (New Zealand) culture and natural elements, beginning with a pukeko in a ponga (tree fern) tree, and including items like huhu grubs, kete (flax baskets), and kumara (sweet potatoes). The book is often a musical story, cherished for its rhythmic verses and role as a beloved, iconic New Zealand Christmas tale.
