INSPIRED BY HONE
A tribute to my incredible nephew Hone, who embodies a love for dinosaurs, reading, and a boundless imagination.
Inspired by our library visit a few years ago where the absence of Māori dinosaur stories sparked my creative journey. Thus, "Hone and his Mokonui," 🦖 our first illustrated children's book, came to life!
