We created Arohanui – a dual-language picture book (in te reo Māori and English) – for the Ministry of Education. It is aligned with Te Whāriki and allows for rich curriculum experiences. Arohanui is set in the familiar world of an early learning service, so it will connect to children’s own experiences of inclusion and exclusion.
Kaiako notes provide a starting point for discussion, activities, and taking action to create a culture of belonging and inclusion.
