find a home in te reo Māori audiobooks
Keen readers can now listen to popular books Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and The Alchemist in te reo Māori audiobooks.
The Kotahi Rau Pukapuka Trust was started in 2019 with the goal of producing 100 great books in te reo Māori and the two new books are a part of meeting that goal.
Narrator Pānia Papa, who is also the chief executive of Kotahi Rau Pukapuka, said releasing these stories in te reo was essential because the rhythm and nuances of the spoken word were effectively communicated in the audiobook format.
Hare Pota me te Whatu Manapou was narrated by Papa, and Tiare Ttawera, a long-standing voice artist, does all the voices for the characters in the book.
