Nanny Mihi's medicine = Ngā rongoā a Nanny Mihi / Melanie Drewery ; illustrated by Suzanne Simpson ; te reo Māori translation by Kanapu Rangitauira.

Includes notes on using rongoā at back of book.

Nanny Mihi's grandchildren are excited to visit her every school holidays. Only this time they arrive with colds ... Nanny takes the kids around her forest and garden, showing them plants that can make them feel better. They find kawakawa and make tea, manuka to put in the bath and clear their stuffy noses, koromiko to help their headaches, and cabbage tree leaves to help with the cuts and scratches they get in the forest. By the time they're well, Nanny is tired and scratched from their foraging - and the kids know just what she needs!

"Ia hararei kura, hīkaka ana ngā mokopuna a Nanny Mihi ki te toro i a ia. Heoi, i tēnei wā kei a rāua te rewharewha ... Ka ārahi haere a Nanny i ngā tamariki ki te ngahere, ki tana māra, me te whakaatu i ngā tupu hei whakaora i a rāua. Tae rawa ki te wā ka ora anō rāua, kua ngenge, kua rapihia a Nanny i te rapu rongoā -- ka mōhio ngā tamariki he aha tāna e hiahia ai!"--Back cover.
