My Matariki Stories presents a vibrant six-volume set of children’s literature that celebrates the traditions and celestial significance of the Māori New Year. Through engaging narratives such as Flit the Fantail and The Matariki Map, Kamo instructs young readers in the values of community, remembrance, and renewal, using the adventures of Flit and his friends to illustrate key cultural concepts. The stories detail the appearance of the Matariki star cluster, the rituals associated with its rising, and the importance of storytelling in preserving whakapapa. Kamo argues for the enduring relevance of Māori cosmology in contemporary life, grounding her tales in both myth and seasonal rhythm.
