Coming early 2011, the book everyone's been waiting for:
"In Love with Moko" - a beautifully presented tribute to Moko and his seafaring friends - illustrated, photographic and educational, this publication is one for the whole family to cherish!

This book is a tribute to Moko and all who cared for him.  Author/illustrators, Nikki Slade Robinson & Val Bird are calling for contributions to the memorial section of the book, in the form of photos or short anecdotes.  As Moko spent much of his life at Mahia and Gisborne, we want to acknowledge those areas, and also Tauranga which proved to be his final resting place.

A portion of the money raised from this book will go to WWF, which is involved in dolphin conservation and marine ecology. 

If you wish to sumit a contribution for possible inclusion in "In Love with Moko", you will need to get your photo or anecdote in by 15th December.  Photo's must be high-quality, suitable for publication.  Three photo's maximum for each submission, and do include a photo caption and your contact details.  Photo's and images should be between 1Mb and 3Mb.  Images are to be of 'Moko' and no other dolphin, and should not be digitally enhanced, edited or cropped.  Photographs must be your own and available for use in the book and accompanying publicity.

Anecdotes are to be of a 'personal' experience.  Keep them brief and to the point using no more than 50 words, remembering submissions will be edited to fit publishing criteria.  These may be emailed or snail-mailed.  Please supply your name as you wish it to be published in the book.

Contributions may be emailed to: thebirds@xtra.co.nz
