Electrician-turned-author Hira Nathan

Hira Nathan takes that Kiwi can-do attitude into everything he does, from doing up houses, working as a sparky, to his latest venture - creating the worlds first bilingual gratitude journal with te ao Maori. Hira self published the Whakawhetai journal with the intention of maybe a few family and friends buying it - only to end up selling 3000 copies by himself. Whakawhetai journal was then picked up by publisher, Allen and Unwin, and his gratitude journal is now available in Whitcoulls stores around the country.
