Tu Meke Tūī Book Tour September 2017
Project 2017-08-03 18:32:09 +1200
Tu Meke Tūī! is a children’s book about an unlikely friendship between two New Zealand native birds. Tere the Tūī and Taitu the Takahe couldn't be more unlikely friends. Both are New Zealand native birds but that's about where the similarities end.
Malcolm wrote Tu Meke Tūī! to help young readers reconnect to our natural world, in the hope that if they have positive memories about nature they might be more inclined to look after it in the future.
In the first two weeks of September Malcolm will be travelling around New Zealand visiting over 30 schools and early childhood centres for readings and a conversation about nature.
You can see the tour schedule and places he will be visiting here:

We are offering the readings for FREE!
There is NO payment required!
However, if you or your class are feeling generous, you are more than welcome to make a contribution via this campaign. Any funds raised will go towards travel and accomodation expenses. This trip is self funded so any little bit of help will be greatly appreciated.
Malcolm is really keen to get to as many schools as possible, the more people he can reach on an indiviual level, the better chance we have of keeping the conversation about nature preservation going.

The People Behind TU MEKE TŪĪ - BOOK TOUR - SEPTEMBER 2017
Malcolm
Project admin
Creativity is only limited by the power of imagination and since he was young Malcolm has worked to push his imagination to its full potential. As an editor Malcolm has collaborated with some of the best in the business on a number of award winning programmes around the world, such as Xfactor UK, Brtitan's Got Talent and I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!
Malcolm’s penchant for comedy and entertainment projects has enabled him to enjoy a diverse career in the Arts. In 2012 he co-wrote a sell out show called 'Memoirs of a Serial Dater' for the Auckland fringe festival which toured to the Sydney fringe festival in 2013. Malcolm has also played a key creative role in a number of festival documentaries; Tongan Ark, October 15 (nominated for an AFTA) and Friendship is the Harbour of Joy.
The idea for Tu Meke Tūī! was born out of Malcolm’s appreciation for New Zealand’s native wildlife and his desire to expose young readers to the wonders of the natural world.
