One thing makes him special, though: his parents come from other countries and speak to him in different languages. It's his birthday today and he receives a very unusual present, only to lose it shortly after. Together with his best friend Emma, a sweet bilingual girl born to South African parents, Dylan sets out to find his lost birthday present. During their search, the two friends learn about the value of friendship, of speaking different languages, and of appreciating one's own as well as others' cultural and linguistic background. If you are looking for a children's book in English and Maori that will help your child see the value in speaking other languages, in being multicultural, and that will hopefully get them excited about learning languages, this book is a great choice. Summary in Maori (Te Reo Maori): He tamaiti Amerikana a Dylan, penei i etahi atu. Engari, kotahi te take e motuhake ai ia, ara no etahi atu whenua ona matua, a, korero ai raua ki a ia i etahi atu reo. Ko tona huritau i tenei ra, a, kua whiwhi ia i tetahi taonga tino rereke, engari kaore i roa ka ngaro i a ia. Ka whakatika ake a Dylan raua ko tona tino hoa, ko Emma, ko tetahi kotiro reo rua, ngawari ano hoki, i whanau mai ona matua i Awhirika ki te Tonga, ki te kimi i tana taonga huritau kua ngaro. I a raua e kimi ana, ka ako nga hoa tokorua i te uara o te hoatanga, o te korero i etahi reo rereke me te whakaaro nui ki tou ano ahurea me tou ano reo, tae atu ano ki nga ahurea me nga reo o etahi atu.
