Tilly Meets a Stranger Ka Tūtaki a Tilly i te Tauhou

Carolyn Watts has previously illustrated three other books, but this is the first one that she has written, illustrated and published herself. It tells the story of a mishap of her own kitten.

The poetic writing allows the reader to enjoy the rhythm and flow of the text.

The text is written in Te Reo and English making it enjoyable on two levels. Having the dual languages on the same page would lend itself nicely to compare the language structures for those learning Te Reo at a higher level.
