My First IkuraA gentle and powerful story that reclaims the sacredness of a girls first ikura (period) through a Mori lens celebrating connection, ceremony and whakapapa. Rooted in te ao Mori, My First Ikura and the reo Mori translation Taku Ikura Tuatahi is a beautifully illustrated childrens book that follows a young girls first period, guided by the support of her whnau. More than a story of physical change, it celebrates womanhood as a sacred rite of passage.
