Nou te Ao, e Hika e!: Oh, the Places You'll Go! in te reo Maori

'Me mihi ka tika, te toa o te ra! Turou, Hawaiki! To pai! Wehi na!' Topa mai, taka mai, ko nga piki me nga heke o te ao o te tangata te aronga nui o tenei korero reka na te matanga, na Dr. Seuss. He kupu akiaki kei roto e maumahara ai te tangata ki ona painga, e mataara ai ki nga uauatanga, me te toro matatoa atu ki te ao e tawhiri mai ana. 'He koi koe a-runga. He kama a-raro. He kakano koe e kore e ngaro.' I Nou te Ao, e Hika e!, kua mau i a Karena Kelly te paki, te toi, te taki me te koi o Seuss, e mohio whanuitia ana, i tana tarai i te kupu hei reo Maori mo te pakiwaitara rongonui nei. 'Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to great places ! You're off and away!' From soaring high-flyers to lurches and slumps, Dr. Seuss's wonderfully wise Oh, the Places You'll Go! speaks to the ups and downs of life. It encourages us all to remember our strengths, recognise the challenges, and grab life with both hands. 'You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.' In Nou te Ao, e Hika e!, Karena Kelly brilliantly captures Seuss's verbal wit and wisdom, and his trademark rhythm and rhyme, while finding this great story its Maori voice.
