Pia the Pōhutukawa - Children’s Book

A Pōhutukawa tree grows, sprouting to life on a beach by the sea, learning about its world and cheerfully enjoying every moment as it comes of age and bursts into glorious colour.

Sue is a retired counsellor and fledgling writer who, with her husband Mike, lives in the Waikato. She has two adult sons and has enjoyed many years of living on the Coromandel Peninsula. This area gave her the inspiration for the Pia the Pohutukawa story.
