Tane Mahuta Has a Forest

Rebecca Larsen, author, and illustrator, has always had a natural talent to create and draw. As a young girl, she always had colours in her hand and enjoyed creating stories and art. Row, Row, Row Your Waka was Rebecca's first book. Having been overseas for several years, Rebecca wanted to introduce te reo in a fun way to her two pre-school boys. As the book was initially created for family, Rebecca asked her family and friends to help her develop this songbook for all tamariki around the country and overseas. Rebecca and her whanau are based in Papamoa.
