New Zealand's Samoan Language Week

Samoan author launches new e-book on language week

Wellington-based writer Dahlia Malaeulu wrote the e-book Teine Sāmoa targeting students from intermediate school and up, a book where young Samoan students to an elder can see themselves through the virtual pages.

But Mrs Malaeulu said that although the title of the book mentioned a Samoan girl, it was not necessarily just for females.

"You'll find that a lot of the themes throughout it actually applies to tama Sāmoa [Samoan boy] or other Pacific ethnic groups," she said.
