Alan Duff's Maori Heroes

Alan Duff has selected 56 Maori, who are high-achieving, talented and inspiring. They have all achieved in their chosen fields, often against the odds, and many of them have gained world-wide recognition. Some are them are household names, for example Kiri Te Kanawa, Sir Howard Morrison and Zinzan Brooke, and others are less well-known. About half of them are current heroes and the others come from history.Each 'hero' is described in a populist, easy-to-read fashion, and the book is colourful and highly illustrated. For the first time ever, this book provides a reference book so that young Maori have inspiring role models to look up to, and so that other New Zealanders can learn about these heroes, often unsung, who have contributed so much to our country.Duff, Alan is the author of 'Alan Duff's Maori Heroes' with ISBN 9781869414252 and ISBN 186941425X.
