Hui loves to share with everyone! Hui teaches us the days of the week in Tokelauan while showing us how to share with others.

Based on the bestselling Mila’s My Gagana Series 1 released in 2019, these translated versions include two stories in one book which include both ‘f’ and ‘wh’ Tokelauan versions of our story in the spirit of inclusion, while providing safe access to all versions of our Pacific languages for our tamaiti and families.

This engaging bilingual book promotes the learning of Gagana Tokelau (Tokelauan Language) by providing accessible and interactive tusi faitau (storybooks) for tamaiti (children), families, and teachers. Targeted at children aged 4-8, the stories are set in relatable everyday contexts and focus on foundational language skills, in this case, the days of the week. With vibrant illustrations, this book makes language learning fun and accessible, and is edited, illustrated, designed, translated, and published by an all-Pasifika team, ensuring cultural authenticity and relevance.
