Uncle Tino

Uncle Tino and its Samoan translation O Tino, le Tuagane o le ma Tina by Jane Va'afusuaga with illustrations by Samoan artist, Nanette Leleaulu.

James and Jessie are embarrassed by Uncle Tino's old car and the way he honks the horn so loudly when he drives them to school. But when the Samoan culture group needs help to prepare for the end of year concert, it turns out that Uncle Tino is full of surprises. A story about being yourself and standing out from the crowd.
