The Indigo Bird by Helen Taylor

Fantail takes readers on a fun journey through New Zealand’s wilderness as he searches for his friend, Takahe, the indigo bird who seems adept at hiding despite his bright colours.

The book mimics history, where the Takahe, known to be a salutary bird by the Maori has proved difficult at times, thought to be extinct or even a myth by early settlers (and not so early settlers). During the first half of the twentieth century it was thought to be extinct and it wasn’t until the relentless searching of Dr Geoffrey Orbell uncovered the bird in 1948 that this prognosis was laid to rest. In the same way, Fantail is relentless in his search, but maybe if you look carefully you will see Takahe was there all along.

The large, bright pictures and searching game will make this book a delight for young children. Along the way they will learn the names of some of our other native birds and also learn some things about the Takahe.
