Twin sisters Kiri and Maraweia must learn how to dance the Maori in a beautiful way. They dance with their tongues out and they must do this in a beautiful way or the goddess of ugly may capture them and make them stiff and not move ever again. Maraweia can't help but dance silly running through the forest and the sisters run straight into Punga the goddess of ugly. This tale is based off of the Maori folklore. This book is learning to embrace your culture in a beautiful way and to believe in yourself as a beautiful person. I would recommend this book to grades 4-5.
