Fiji / Viti

Fiji - Viti is the newest addition to the striking Moana Oceania series, which reflects back to Pasifika children in Aotearoa the places they are connected to. While aimed at readers 8+, this is a valuable book for anyone with an interest in our Pacific vuvale (family), including our many visitors to Fiji. Fijian-New Zealand educator Tarisi Vunidilo introduces the people, culture and identity of her homeland. With text in Fijian and English, the book offers insights into society, geography, legends, arts, history, language and more. Readers will learn about daily life in the islands, the values of its people, and how families live and celebrate. A section is dedicated to Fijians in New Zealand and how they stay connected to and celebrate their culture in Aotearoa. The striking design with info boxes, colourful photos, illustrations and maps make this book fun to read and easy to access.
