The grandmothers of Pikitea Street = Ngā kuia o te Tiriti o Pikitea / Renisa Viraj Maki ; illustrated by Nikki Slade Robinson ; Māori translation by Kanapu Rangitauira.

Picture story book for children.

The grandmothers of Pikitea Street are telling their grandchildren cultural stories as they settle them into bed.

"Scents of lemongrass, garam masala, baking and smoked meat drifted down the street as the children's grandmothers made food for their lunchboxes. Maori, Ethiopian, Samoan, NZ European, Indian and Chinese grandmothers share traditional stories and recipes with their grandkids as they get ready for bed - explaining how the food will benefit the kids at school the next day. The grandmothers aren't cooking only for the children. They are also making dishes for their monthly gathering at one of their homes, where they continue to share their traditional dishes and stories, crossing cultural boundaries''--Publisher's website.
