JUST FOR KIDS

We’ve got a boat Lyrics by Jay Laga’aia, illustrations by Donovan Bixley, Scholastic, $21.99

.. .. .. .. .. ..

Superstars in their own field, Jay Laga’aia and Donovan Bixley team up to celebrate our Kiwi sailing heritage and ingenuity as well as the whirlwind experience of our win in the America’s Cup yacht race.

Illustrator Bixley, who was a competitive sailor in his youth, characterises the Kiwi determination, while actor and singer Laga’aia brings wind-force energy through the accompanied CD.

Perfect to keep the kids occupied on the summer car trips with a bit of singing or quiet reading.
