Duffy Books

Keith Tonkin

I’ve recently become a Duffy Books role model and have made a tour of eleven schools in Nelson, Marlborough and the West Coast.

For those outside of New Zealand and/or those who are not familiar with it, Duffy Books is a foundation set up by Kiwi Author Alan Duff (of “Once Were Warriors” fame) to give books to children in low decile schools (those in lower socio-economic areas) and to thus help encourage them to read.
