'This is a well-told story of a koro who is sadly declining in health. He's forgetting things, hiding things, and his grandkids are starting to get a bit worried. Nana is the hero, helping the rangatahi to understand that koro is still there, he's just different, as his health declines. Gentle yet meaningful.' - Sarah Forster, The Sapling
