High above the fields, carved into the English hillside, lies a giant chalk Kiwi - a symbol of home for the New Zealand soldiers who created it over a century ago. But how did it get there?
 
In this beautifully told children's book, young readers follow the journey of Danny Fisher and his granddaughter, Pru, as they walk the hills together. Danny shares a story passed down through generations - the story of how a group of weary New Zealand soldiers, stuck in England after World War I, left behind a lasting mark of their longing for home.
 
Through his eyes, we learn about the men at Sling Camp, who, after years of war, found themselves waiting and waiting for ships that would take them back to New Zealand. To keep busy - and to lift their spirits - they took on a remarkable task: carving a giant Kiwi into the chalky hillside.
 
Danny recounts the tale, imagining the soldiers at work as their Kiwi took shape. More than just a picture in the earth, it became a symbol of resilience, pride, and the unbreakable connection to home.
 
With stunning illustrations and a heartwarming narrative, The Biggest Kiwi in the World brings history to life for young readers, making it a perfect read not just for Anzac Day, but for any day when curiosity about the past sparks a story worth telling.
