Iti the Hungry Fairy TernIti the Hungry Fairy Tern

"Where the Te Ārai Stream meets the sea, a rare little bird nestles among the seashells and sand. Iti, a Fairy Tern chick, feels a rumble in his tummy - he's hungry! His parents flew away to find food, but they haven't returned. Join Iti as he bravely ventures outside his nest for the very first time in search of something to eat. Along the way, he discovers the challenges of the world and the kindess of those who care for New Zealand's rarest birds. Based on a true story, Iti the Fairy Tern is a heartwarming tale of courage, survival, and the extraordinary efforts to protect one of our most endangered birds."--Back cover.
