It's Witchy's birthday, and she decides to make some special party food - but alas, the cupboard is bare, and she can't remember the magic word to restock it. There's nothing for it but that she'll have to go to the supermarket, so off she goes with her shopping list. On arrival, she discovers she's left her glasses behind so has to peer closely at everything because she can't read any of the labels. Children will laugh as they see her putting blueberries into her trolley, thinking they are spider eggs, spaghetti for worms, chocolate chips for mouse droppings, raspberry sauce for dragon's blood and so on - and when she gets home she finds that, although she doesn't have what she came for, she really does have the ingredients for a lovely party!

This dictionary supplements the Oxford Maori Picture Dictionary with additional words and their Maori equivalents. Some of the words in the Oxford Maori Picture Dictionary appear again in this dictionary, but alternative translations are offered, not to invalidate the translations in the Oxford Maori Picture Dictionary, or those which Maori people are continually creating for themselves, but to reflect the vitality of the Maori language.
First published May 1997.

A long time ago, Matatuhi, a fabulous weaver and a woman with special powers, dreamed of making a special cloak, and of encountering a young girl with fair hair and green eyes. Many years later, in modern times, a girl named Mata is adopted by Pakeha parents. She has fair hair, but brown skin. On a class visit to the museum one day, Mata is entranced by a beautiful cloak, and a carved female figure with a chin moko who seems to speak to her. Later, she dreams of feathered cloaks and an old Maori woman with a moko. After the visit, Mata discovers her whakapapa and reclaims her original Maori name – Matatuhi.
First published April 2006.
