Take another look: Te Wiki o te Reo Māori
In September, throughout Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (11—17 September), The Coalition for Books published the Kete Books homepage in te reo Māori.
We were also delighted to welcome back Ruth Smith (Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki, Ngāti Porou, Rongowhakaata, Ngāti Kahungunu) as guest editor. Read Ruth’s compelling editorial on taking te reo Māori to the world, here.
Across the week, Kete featured reviews of new and exciting books by Māori authors, in te reo Māori with links to English language versions or translations throughout the week.

Kete newsletter: Te Wiki o te Reo Māori special edition
A special Māori language edition of the Kete newsletter, gathering together the week’s reviews and editorial, went out to subscribers on Thursday 14 September before midday, landing in time for keen readers to participate in Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori — the Māori Language Moment at midday. The newsletter also featured a book pack giveaway, with many of the books reviewed across the week included in the prize draw — and some special children’s books too.
