In this modern retelling of the beloved myth, Mui is a schoolboy who lives with his mother and four older brothers in a city where the day is never long enough to get things done.

Mui grasps the mantle:

Mum, I'm gonna catch that Sun for you.

That Sun who's always on the run.

With their woven flax net, the brothers drive to the pit where the Sun lives, and make their play to slow the day.

This bilingual book in English and Mori brings Mui into the 21st century in a fun and colourful retelling the first in the international Indigenous Voices series.

Published originally in hardback in 2016 and reprinted in 2019, Mui Sun Catcher/Te Kaihao i te R is now available in a quality paperback edition.

Tim Waitai-Tipene, (Ngāti Kuri/Ngāti Whatua) – was adopted into the Waitai-Tipene whanau as a toddler. He was raised in two cultures, NZ Māori and NZ European. First published in 1996 Tim is now the author of more than thirteen books, five of which have won awards.
