Malcolm believes that highlighting the importance of conservation through inspiring stories will help to prepare children to be kaitiaki (guardians) who care for their world now and in the future.

His wealth of experience and 'try anything' attitude have earned him invitations to present at events such as the Auckland Writers Festival and the Children's Book Awards at Te Papa. Malcolm's next mission is to develop a series of collaborative workshops for children to grow literary awareness and inspire young creatives in New Zealand.
