My family tree grows over the sand.
Its droopy tendrils tickle my hands.
I'll pretend I'm a pirate sailing over the sea

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.
