Day 4: perspectives.
First map: how James Cook charted Aotearoa New Zealand by Tessa Duder; illustrated by David Elliot (2020).
250 years after Cook's journey around the New Zealand two children's books have different takes on that voyage - and its meaning then, and now.
As with all colonised areas, New Zealand and New Zealanders have an uneasy relationship with their history. These books explore that history, and raise interesting topics to explore further.
