After moving in with her well-meaning Uncle Mark, Katie is given Rascal, an excitable, chaotic kurī who playfully refuses to do what she’s told. Whaea Kaz’s te reo Māori dog classes become the start of an unexpected adventure, as Katie, Rascal and Uncle Mark learn simple commands, grow braver and closer together, and discover plenty of joyful chaos along the way, while encouraging everyday use of te reo Māori by speakers of all skill levels. It’s a story about confidence, friendship and the rewards of trying something new, even if you’re terrible at first.
