Kat Quin Collection

Kat Merewether is an author, illustrator, and designer based in rural Te Awamutu. Fresh from the success of her books in the beautiful Kuwi the Kiwi(TM) series, after many requests Kat now offers a chance for creativity for adults and children alike.Spending her childhood exploring the forest park on the slopes of Mount Pirongia, Kat's passion for conservation grew along with her talent for art and creativity. With a father involved in conservation, a love for native fauna and flora came naturally to Kat. With three young daughters of her own now, her dream of becoming a children's book author and illustrator came to fruition with her Kuwi the Kiwi(TM) series, Kuwi's First Egg and Kuwi's Huhu Hunt. In the first year since publication, Kat's books have featured many times on the Nielsen New Zealand Bestsellers list, with Kuwi's First Egg earning a place for the top ten bestsellers of 2015. Kat donates a portion of every book sale to Kiwis for kiwi, and through this initiative 51 kiwi chicks were supported by Kat in 2015 through the Operation Nest Egg programme. She also travels the country, teaching children about kiwi, including how to keep them safe from predation by animals, in her role as an official Kiwis for kiwi ambassador. One of the highlights of Kat's work is to see children and adults alike enjoying her stories and illustrations. This much anticipated colouring book will undoubtedly provide many hours of enjoyment for the whole family.
