Genre: Picture Book Fiction

    Our main character wants to make a big splash with a cannonball. He asks his community for advice but nothing seems to work. His grandma just tells him to do it his own way and he'll make a huge splash. He lets his hair down, wears a sparkly, dazzling swimsuit, and he makes a big splash. The diversity in this book is cultural. The text incorporates Maori words and phrases into the rhymes and includes a glossary at the back for translations.
