BOOK REVIEW: Kiwi's Intrepid Journey by Anna Dalzell

10/6/2016

11 Comments

 
Kiwi's Intrepid Journey is a story that has been written to help primary school aged children deal with anxiety, loneliness, courage and confidence. It incorporates ideas such as mindfulness, perspectives, strengths, self-awareness, thoughts and feelings.  

The author, Anna Dalzell, has many years working with children.  She has gained qualifications as an NLP Master Practitioner, NLP Coach, Ericksonian Hypnotherapist and Time Line Therapist™. She is a practising member of the New Zealand Association of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and holds a Diploma of Teaching, Certificate in Cognitive Enrichment Counselling and is currently studying a Diploma in Child and Adolescent Psychology.

This is a tender story that lends itself well to being read aloud and I'm sure it would be a much requested story in any home or classroom.  The illustrations are simply beautiful and were done by artist Jane McIntosh and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot ore of her work in children's books.

It's a tough one but my favourite nz bird would have to be Takahe.

It has to be the fantail/pīwakawaka - so cute and inquisitive!

I've had a soft spot for kererū ever since I witnessed four of them drunk after gorging on summer fruit on Banks Peninsula. They were so funny and no harm came to them, but it was a weird sensation to relate to a bird on that level! ;)

Bellbird. So lovely to hear them in the garden over winter. It's something I missed so much when living in the UK for a decade. Whenever I hear them now it feels like a repeated little home-coming celebration.

My favourites are the Tuis which sit in my Banksia tree every day and eat the nectar. Love the colours and the fiestiness of these birds!
