Aroha is devastated when her cat Maia dies. But under the rising stars of Matariki - the Māori New Year - she dreams of four guiding stars who help her create a magical garden of memories. This beautifully illustrated story introduces children to:- Matariki (the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster)
- The idea that loved ones become stars (whetūrangitia)
- Core Māori values like whānau (family), connection, and remembrance.
