My family tree grows over the sand.
Its droopy tendrils tickle my hands.
I'll pretend I'm a pirate sailing over the sea
on a ship I call 'hairy armpit' tree!
This story celebrates the family trees (both figurative and physical) of a diverse range of children. From pohutukawa, to olive, to flowering cherry, right down to the humble apple tree that feeds its community, each family has a special bond to its own tree.
My Family Tree is presented in both English and Maori; June Pitman-Hayes' original English version is translated into Maori by Kawiti Waetford. The illustrations are by Minky Stapleton. The accompanying song can be downloaded from all good digital sites.

Fundamental chemistry explained with cut-out models.
Who would have thought that paper models could illustrate some fundamental truths about the universe! Yet Lee Bulbrook has succeeded in using a certain geometrical shape which represents the fundamental structure of real atoms rather well.
Because of this, they glue together logically to make model molecules which closely represent the shapes and properties of real molecules. This combination of words, pictures and models opens the door to a better understanding of this fascinating subject.
