I'm Kris. I'm a journalist and storyteller. My first book, Saving Wānanga, was published in October 2024 by Potton & Burton with stunning watercolour imagery by Diine the Fox.
For a limited time, I'm selling books and puppets here to raise money to support the amazing work of Kea Conservation and the South Island Wildlife Hospital, who feature in this true story of a kea rescue.
Watch this space for book two, due to be released in five countries in 2026.
"The writing is clear, compelling; and the story of a sick Kea is gripping."
"Gorgeously illustrated and full of humour, this book - and Wānanga - will make you laugh aloud and warm your heart."
