Donovan Bixley bridges young people out of picture books with the first in this charming series about a family of little people living next to a Pā on the coast of Aotearoa in the mid-1800s. When you are small enough to fly around on the back of a Piwakawaka the bush holds many charms and many dangers. As more and more immigrant big people arrive into the same area as the local Māori big people, the world for Hana and all those around her is changing rapidly.
