In their exploration, the authors drew upon the insights of anthropology and education, particularly the works of John Dewey, who emphasized the cultivation of enduring attitudes. Throughout the discussion, they employed a navigation metaphor, likening the process to a journey through a star cluster in the southern hemisphere night sky, Matariki, which served as a guiding light for early Māori seafarers navigating vast oceans to reach Aotearoa New Zealand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA vibrant illustration of children's and teachers' responses to the treasured artifacts (taonga) in their local museums was provided by a Māori immersion early childhood center and school, as well as a New Zealand kindergarten. The book presents an ecosocial framing, spanning from \"little to big,\" and showcases diverse cultural perspectives on creativity. The Mana Tamariki kaiako (teachers) bestowed upon us a title: He taonga, he rerenga arorangi (Where there are treasured objects, the spirit is nurtured, and creativity will be inspired).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032078427\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Margaret Carr,Brenda Soutar,Jeanette Clarkin-Phillips,Leanne Clayton,Bronwen Cowie,Shelley Butler","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105155772666,"sku":"9781032078427","price":52.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_4858e75b-d527-4aba-957b-1a945030c263.jpg?v=1663274065","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/young-children-visit-museums-cultural-and-creative-perspectives-9781032078427","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
