Kuwi’s Rowdy Crowd

Kuwi the Kiwi attempts to find a moment of peace and quiet in the chaos of parenthood, but everywhere she turns the volume just gets louder. Tap-dancing tomtits, Karate-kicking kokako and other noisy native friends join in the rowdy fun, until Kuwi can’t take any more…

Young readers will be delighted by the fun noises they can make to match each illustration as they guess which creature will pop up next. The story also holds a heartwarming and subtle message about being happy with what you have.

Kat Merewether’s signature adorable illustrations and storyline, will have both adults and children laughing out loud. The illustrations are a visual feast. From Mr Kūmara Head to Huwi Potter, What’s Bug Beans and pōhutukawa flavoured K Bars – she puts a clever Kiwi spin on almost everything. Fans of her books will have fun spotting cameos of her other creations too. Her drawings are bold and bright, with each creature a brilliant cartoon version of the real animal.

Merewether is a proud supporter of the Kiwis for Kiwi Trust, with 20 cents from each book sale of the Kuwi series going to support kiwi conservation projects in New Zealand. To date, the series has donated more than $25,000.
