This is an interpretation of an aspect of the Māori creation story, from Aotearoa (New Zealand), told from the point of view of Hineahuone the first earth formed woman, describing how she was fashioned from the clay of the earth and then brought to life by Tāne Mahuta - God of the Forest, who would then become her lover.

Produced in association with Copyright Licensing New Zealand Cultural Fund, the Aho Wahine series of digital graphic novels breathe new life into the traditional stories of Aotearoa/New Zealand, by re-imagining them from the point of view of the female characters.

This series also features synchronized text and audio in both the Māori and English languages, as well as the Swipe-to-Read™ function which allows the reader to hear and play back the story at their own pace. 


Other features include:

• The Auto Play function for you to enjoy the pre-recorded narration.

• Tap to hear pronunciation and double-tap to hear phonetics/spelling.

• Colour in images from the story


• The ‘Use the My Narration’ function to read and record the story yourself and customise your book. 



• Extensive notes on the storytelling, and background information on the artists and musicians involved in this project.
