I'm a science journalist and children's author. My career has covered everything from Antarctic science to guided meditations. My first kids' book, Saving Wānanga, released in 2024, made the best kids' book lists for The Spinoff, The Listener and The Sapling. This audio series combines my love of science, nature and wellbeing with my experiences as the parent of a slightly wild boy who took ages to sooth into sleep mode.
He's a little bit anxious. (You might be too if you were an endangered, flightless bird who couldn't see very well.) Kiwi is worried about every little noise in the forest, until Ruru arrives and teaches kiwi how to find a calm stillness by pretending to be a maunga (mountain).
Your kids will help Kiwi by following along with this simple mindfulness exercise and before you know it, they'll be falling asleep just like Kiwi.
