Kitty Brown Collection

Kitty Brown and Kirsten Parkinson developed the Reo P-pi books out of a desire to produce really simple, user friendly bi-lingual board books in te reo M-ori for M-ori and P-keh- wh-nau alike. Their passion for Reo P-pi grew from their own wh-nau. They are cousins through their t-ua (Ivy and Mere Karaitiana) and grew up close in a tino -taahua extended wh-nau. After education, travelling, living overseas, careers and having children, they both returned to their rohe, living in the same little village, Portobello on the Otago Peninsula.
