Judges’ comments What a delight and pleasure it will be for intermediate Māori language learners opening this book! Featuring an elegant cover, the interiors are where the design truly sings. Open the creamy matte pages and enter a world of subtle colour and typographic panache. Utilising white space, indentation, size, type, and colour contrast with great skill, the systematic design of information is extremely well executed. The illustrations contribute but don’t overwhelm, enhancing the overall reading experience.
