The Midnight Adventures of Ruru and Kiwi

The delightful rhyming story of Ruru and Kiwi, who host a midnight forest party for their friends, with award-winning illustrations.

The Ruru and Kiwi went into the bush,
wrapped snug in night's velvety black.
They took some runny manuka honey
tied up in a flax-woven sack.

Drawing on a cast of nocturnal New Zealand creatures, with award-winning illustrations by Amy Haarhoff, Clare Scott's story imagines Edward Lear's famous nonsense poem taking place in a moonlit forest in Aotearoa.
