The story behind the book…

As proud five star sponsors of the Starship Foundation, Barfoot & Thompson has contributed to the welfare of kids in Starship ever since 2004.

Being a five star sponsor means we get the opportunity to run great projects like the Magic of Reading, where we give a storybook to every child who stays overnight in the hospital. 

In 2008, Barfoot & Thompson decided to give the wider community the chance to be involved in the Magic of Reading. We created the storybook competition and invited schools from all over Auckland and Northland to submit an idea for a children’s book.

Room 10 at Ahipara School won the 2009 competition with their Weather Fish entry. Their prize was to work with renowned author John Parker to fine tune the storyline and have rugby star Keven Mealamu illustrate the book.

The books have been printed and are now on sale for just $10, with all proceeds going directly to the Starship Foundation.
