Look toward the winter sky and welcome a new year of remembrance, togetherness, planning, and hope!

Why do families in New Zealand gather outdoors before sunrise during the coldest part of winter? What can a small cluster of stars tell people about rain, wind, crops, rivers, and the sea? Why Do We Celebrate Matariki? offers young readers a respectful introduction to the Māori New Year.

Matariki is the Māori name for the star cluster also known as the Pleiades. For many Māori communities, its return to the predawn sky in June or July signals a time to remember those who have died, celebrate the present, and prepare for the year ahead.
