- description: Sharon Holt is Pakeha and an accomplished children's author. More than a decade ago she began learning te reo Maori, which sparked a passion in her to start writing children's books in te reo Maori. Sharon was keen to enter one of those books into Maori language section of the NZ library and information associations' children's book awards earlier this year, but she was denied, because she isn't Maori. Racist or short-sighted?
