'I will continue to embrace te reo but there is an aspect of getting up and saying it incorrectly but i think that's part of it, not being afraid of getting it wrong.'

📖📙📘📚Last weekend, at her book signing event for Lisa Carrington Chases a Champion and Ko Lisa Carrington me te Toa Whakaihuwaka at Whitcoulls Sylvia Park in Tāmaki Makaurau, Dame Lisa Carrington got to meet so many people – fans, aspiring athletes, whānau … and the illustrator of her books, Scott Pearson!
✏️With Scott being based in Waikato and Dame Lisa being the legend she is and travelling for her mahi, they never actually had a chance to meet before the books were published. Instead, our design team at HUIA were the match-makers and paired Dame Lisa’s ideas and values with Scott’s skill and vision to create a beautifully energetic picture book that embodies Dame Lisa’s resilience and perseverance.🥇
