Introducing 'Five Wee Puteketeke', a captivating children's picture book that brings to life the unique story of the p?teketeke, an enchanting bird species native to New Zealand. This beautifully illustrated book not only entertains but also educates young readers about the importance of wildlife conservation. As one of the central figures in the 'Bird of the Century' competition organized by Forest & Bird in 2023, the p?teketeke (commonly known as the 'weird puking bird') captured the hearts of many, thanks in part to the popular US TV host John Oliver advocating for their win. His fun-loving campaign led to a global movement with over 300,000 voters casting their ballots for this remarkable bird.
