Is he playing with Weka in the snow, or maybe dancing with Kakapo in the glow of the moon? Perhaps he is splashing through puddles with long-legged Pukeko? Look VERY carefully at all the illustrations—could Takahe have been here all along? An exquisite look-and-find story inspired by the true history of New Zealand's flightless and indigo-feathered takahe. Once thought to be extinct, it was rediscovered in 1948—the takahe showing just how good at hiding it is!
