Falefitu Tony Laulu

Today we had a surprise author named Falefitu Tony Laulu he talked to us about the book and the book in samoan is called O le Tu’uaga o le Aoga a Lemalie ma Sakalia if we translate it in english it means Lemalie and Salalia’s school holiday and the other book is called O a’u o le Samoa which means I am a Samoan. Falefitu talked to us about our culture and about saying that we are our culture and believe that you are your culture. He showed us his amazing books about Pasifika culture, in particular Samoan. It shows what it really is like in the world now. My favourite book is O a’u o le Samoa because it was talking about a little boy that didn’t understand Samoan but his grandad told him you have the rich, strong blood of Samoa and you are samoan so believe in yourself. The book that I like the most is ' O au o le Samoa ' which is about this boy who thinks he doesn't know much about his culture. The story goes on to explain that culture is not just about the way you speak - the language, it's the way you represent On behalf of room 3 literacy we would like to say thank you for surprising us.
