A Kiwi Christmas Story

A Kiwi Christmas Story was written by Romaine Kupfer, a geologist, while she and her young family accompanied her husband, a geologist professor, on sabbatical in Wellington, New Zealand. Mrs. Kupfer, quite taken by the kiwi bird and his gentleness, began to romanticize what Christmas would have been like in the land down under. Since her children were young, she wrote the story for thema childrens storyand included a bit of her own poetry at the end.
