Gratitude journals have been embraced by some adults in recent years - but what about children?

An electrician turned writer, and an Auckland teacher have now created a wellbeing journal for tamariki - Piki te Ora.

Hira Nathan trained as an electrician, it is still his day job,  but he has always had a passion for writing.

He has already written a bilingual gratitude journal for adults- Whakawhetai.

And now Hira has teamed with Pike te Ora co author, Jessie Eyre who is a teacher at Western Heights School in Henderson.
