Celebrating local creators
At SoulyNZ we are so happy and proud to have Marie Munro's children's books for sale. Marie lives in Tawa and she has worked with illustrator, Rachel Doragh, another Tawa resident, and noted translator, Piripi Walker, developing the series of interactive bilingual picture books published by Nana’s Shed Books over the last three years.
She says she is now feeding her passion for getting children to engage with and thoroughly enjoy books as she did as a child. It is a joy to have Marie’s books here at SoulyNZ and she works on a Friday from 10am to 1pm, so you can get her to sign them too if you want.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
