Kuwi's chick Huwi has a slight sniffle. Kuwi embarks on a mission to track down a cure for her cheeky sick chick.
Kuwi tests... Glittering goo made from glow worm poo, but Huwi's sniffles stubbornly stay. A raw claw concoction made by a tatty tuatara, but Huwi's chill still stays. Flutter therapy offered by a friendly fantail whanau, but Huwi's sniffles peskily persist!
The delightfully unique and unmistakably Kiwi artwork will bring laughter to both grown-ups and kids, featuring a hilariously relatable plot that resonates with parents everywhere. Young readers will find joy in the unexpected twists, eagerly anticipating the next crazy cure Kuwi will come up with next, all while learning about our native flora and fauna.
