Author's Bio
David Riley teaches at Tangaroa College in Otara South Auckland. He wrote this book to encourage his students to be proud of who they are - particularly young Pacific Island students - and to inspire them with stories they can relate to about sport, music, business, talent, luck and perseverance. Niuean-Maori illustrator Munro Te Whata and Auckland- based Samoan Photographer Evotia Tamua bring the stories alive.
