Taniwha

Taniwha.

by Monique and Pātaka Moore; illustrations by Isobel Joy Te Aho-White

Taniwha have a special relationship with Māori, who tell many stories about them. Taniwha have different roles – and one of these is as kaitiaki. Many taniwha live in or near lakes, rivers, or the sea and help to protect and keep these places safe.
