Kiwi kids' writing

Two books of kiwi kids' writing have been published recently...

Leprechaun ice-cream - Magical Tales by Kiwi Kids is the publication resulting from a competition for aspiring young authors (years 1–8), which was run by New Zealand Post in conjunction with the New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards 2010.
It includes the work of fifty Kiwi kids from all over the country. An expert judging panel, including well-known New Zealand writer Kate De Goldi, selected the winning works from more than 7000 entries. The challenge for the competition was to “share your writing magic”, giving young writers the opportunity to interpret and explore the theme in their individual ways.Order from Learning Media ph 800 800 565 or local bookshops $

TV presenter Charlie Panapa, 20 stories across three age groups were selected as the best in the country. Imaginations are thriving!
