Translation of: Kua whetūrangitia tōku koro.
"It's winter, and Koro and his moko are getting ready to celebrate the rising of Matariki. They prepare an offering of food to take up the mountain before dawn. And the boy learns about the captain of Te Waka o Rangi, who gathers the spirits of passed loved ones and releases them into the sky as stars. A year goes by, and just before Matariki rises again, Koro suddenly passes away. Now it is up to the boy to show his family the Matariki rituals and call out Koro's name so he will become a star."--Back cover.
