Dreams of a Moa Book

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sail the Pacific, ballet dance in Paris or stroll on the Moon? We know a Moa that had such dreams. “...the Moa were dreamers so brave and true, They were never afraid to try something new.” This is a book for anyone who dreams of big adventures. 

In Dreams of a Moa young readers will meet a moa with big dreams in this quirky tale full of laughter, energy and a few surprises. The story is firmly anchored in New Zealand, with the illustrations celebrating Aotearoa’s flora and fauna.

Carly Waddleton

Carly lives in Christchurch New Zealand with her little people, husband and fish. Originally from Lincoln, United Kingdom, she moved to New Zealand in 2009, and despite earthquakes, fires and the challenges of a pandemic, they still love to call New Zealand home. She has been twisting words into stories and poetry since she was little, and had her first poem published, a unusual tale of a bee, when she was 8. The stories Carly tells are never restrained by reality, but instead aim to question what we know. She likes to seed endless possibilities for the reader to question and run away with.
