Not only is Atua: Māori Gods and Heroes a beautifully illustrated deep dive into the myths and legends of Aotearoa, it was the Margaret Mahy Book of the Year Supreme Winner!
Atua was described as a taonga for this generation and the next when it was crowned at the 2022 New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults. By multi-award-winning author Gavin Bishop, Atua was praised by the judges for its sense of magic and the way it validates matauranga and te ao Māori truths.
“The book is much more than a list of Gods and legendary heroes – it’s a family tree, presented with power and simplicity. The text is never overstated, with the glory of the illustrations as the primary mode of storytelling, rewarding the reader who closely examines them."
