Stacey Morrison (Te Arawa, Ngāi Tahu) is a radio and TV broadcaster, author and a māmā to three tamariki who have been brought up with te reo Māori as their mother tongue. Stacey's first children's book, My First Words in Māori, became a number-one bestseller. She has since co-authored Kia Kaha, which won NZ Booklover's Best Children's Book and a Storylines Notable Non-fiction Award. Stacey has advised on pre-schooler and children’s TV shows, which, along with her experiences with her own children, has helped her identify the words children pick up early in their language learning. As a winner of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori Champion Award in 2016, and the winner of Waipunarangi - Te Reo and Tikanga Award 2021, as well as a graduate of Te Panekiretanga o te Reo, Stacey loves encouraging the learning and use of our country’s beautiful native language.
