New kids' story book will help raise funds for the Northland Rescue Helicopter.
A rescue chopper called Mike has the starring role in the latest storybook from the Northland Rescue Helicopter.
Mighty Mike to the Rescue, which go on sale this week, is the service's third children's book following the success of Juliet to the Rescue in 2016 and Lima Leaps to the Rescue last year.
The book will be launched on November 16 with two events, one at Whangarei's St Francis Xavier Primary School and the other at Morningside School to celebrate Northland Rescue Helicopter's 30 years in service and as part of its annual fundraising appeal.
All proceeds from the sale of the books go to the Northland Emergency Services Trust which operates the Northland Rescue Helicopters.
Illustrated by Auckland artist Tony McNeight, the books are an adventure series that follow the rescue service's three helicopters during daring life-saving missions around Northland.
The latest book follows thrill-seeking brother and sister duo Tia and Ollie who head off to explore the swamps and bogs at popular Kai Iwi Lakes. With their native bird friends in tow, including Kenny the Kererū and Kiri the Kiwi, they find themselves lost as darkness descends.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
