Remember Jacob from “Nana’s Shed”? Bella is his sister and she’s a bit of a rebel.
Bella knows her own mind and there is one thing she knows for certain – haircuts are out! So Bella's hair just grows and grows.
This humorous story about Bella’s hair chips away at the gender stereotyping of young girls and includes new search activities in te reo Māori, similar to those in “Nana’s Shed”, and extends the counting in English and te reo to 20.
“Bella’s Fringe” will be available in time for Christmas. Watch out for the November book launch details.

It seems when any of the original ones fail they get replaced by a standard look LED streetlight, while the newer streets get the same as the original design, albeit LED. Around the intersection of Aotea Dr, Kaimai Pl and Baxters Rise there is now 4 different types. Would it be too much to ask PCC to keep them uniform? I know it's only cosmetic but given the exorbitant rates we pay surely it's not a big ask to keep the look and values of our streets up?
