We speak to a few authors on this show, usually there's a commercial aspect to their releases.
Not so for our next guest, all the money from 13-year-old Elly Grady's debut children's book is going straight to her school. Her book "Cyclone Gabrielle" is almost an oral history.
Elly interviewed members of her Kereru, Hawkes Bay community. She listened to the tales they shared and turned their words into rhymes with care. That book has now been published.
