Pink and White Terraces: Aroha's Life

The Pink and White Terraces: Aroha's Life

Long before the eruption of Mount Tarawera changed Aotearoa forever, the Pink and White Terraces stood as one of the natural wonders of the world.

Hidden within this steaming valley lies the peaceful village of Te Otukapuarangi, where Aroha, a young Māori woman, lives a life shaped by family, tradition and the quiet rhythms of her people. But beyond the northern forests, an ancient tribe searches for a legendary valley known only through the stories handed down by their ancestors.

What begins as a desperate search for hope soon becomes a struggle for survival, forcing Aroha to witness the end of a peaceful world and carry its memories into an uncertain future.

Richly illustrated and inspired by the landscapes, traditions and oral heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand, The Pink and White Terraces: Aroha's Life is an unforgettable tale of love, sacrifice, courage and remembrance. It is the beginning of an epic journey that reaches far beyond the terraces and into the heart of a forgotten land.
