In Manchester Square, winter light finds the roses
and a new story waits among the brick paths.

Follow Flit the fantail through pages in the garden,
with Kiwi and Ruru beneath the Matariki sky,
where stars become guideposts home.

This is a walk of wonder,
a pause between footsteps,
a story you don’t just read
but move through together.

If you are passing through the centre of Feilding,
let the new Pop-Up StoryWalk® enrich your Matariki.

Following the reading, Hauraki Broo will be added to the Manawatū Community Hub Libraries collection for everyone to enjoy.

We look forward to sharing this wonderful story with you and your whānau. 📚🐋
