A Little Letter, a World of Adventure!
Dear Little Explorer...
Dear Little Explorer,
Kia ora from New Zealand!
What an adventure! I’ve explored snowy mountains, watched bubbling mud pools in Rotorua, and admired the twinkling glowworms in Waitomo Caves!
I even learned about Māori traditions and met a little kiwi bird who, just like me, prefers to keep its feet on the ground!
New Zealand is full of wonderful surprises. I can’t wait for our next adventure!
