Description
“Have you shared ‘Kingi The Cross-Eyed Kingfisher,’ with your children yet?
Why do we ask? Because the excitement doesn’t end with the last page! Extend the fun with engaging and very cool backyard activities inspired by Kingi’s ‘friends’, which are all the bugs and insects that share the pages as he embarks on his courageous journey. Encourage children to explore their own outdoor spaces, armed with the list of insects on the last page.
The prize for this curiosity is a newfound appreciation for the tiny creatures that inhabit the surroundings. From bug hunts to creating insect habitats, these hands-on activities foster a deeper connection to nature while sparking imagination and curiosity.
‘Kingi The Cross-Eyed Kingfisher’ isn’t just a story—it’s an immersive experience that encourages exploration, empathy, and a sense of wonder. Join Kingi on his quest and discover the magic that lies right outside your door.

“I would describe my 5 year old granddaughter Charlotte as a confident reader who has always loved books and being read to. Nowadays she picks up all kinds of books and makes a great effort to read the words. Kīngi the cross eyed kingfisher was an easy read for Charlotte even though there were several words which are not in her vocabulary. She loved the colours and the ending. We have many Kingfishers at our Coromandel seaside property so has now developed a greater interest in spotting them.
Great stories and lovely illustrations.” Petra Foote
