Notes

When Mitai's seven handsome brothers are bewitched by seven beautiful women, Mitai seeks advice and

god of the stars, who places them in the far away heavens. Yet once a year, at winter solstice, he
allows them to shine in the Eastern sky. A contemporary myth of love, magic, and adventure that
celebrates Matariki. Brief factual information about Matariki. Suggested level: junior, primary.
