Kitty Brown and Kirsten Parkinson developed the Reo Pēpi books out
of a desire to produce really simple, user friendly bi-lingual
board books in te reo Māori for Māori and Pākehā whānau alike.
Their passion for Reo Pēpi grew from their own whānau. They are
cousins through their tāua (Ivy and Mere Karaitiana) and grew up
close in a tino ātaahua extended whānau. After education,
travelling, living overseas, careers and having children, they both
returned to their rohe, living in the same little village,
Portobello on the Otago Peninsula.
