The Tale of Tama the Travelling Takahē

When Tama the Travelling Takahē woke up in the morning, it was a bright, sunny, summer’s day.
The air was already warm, the other birds were singing in the forest, and Tama knew it was going to be a GREAT day for a new adventure.
The other takahē in his village didn’t like to go too far from their nests, but Tama was a traveller. He loved going to all sorts of new places.
But where did he go today?

  • Be unique! Be as creative as possible
