ko wai au

Ko Wai Au? My dad is slightly older than my mum so he’s the biggest koru and then my  mum is the second biggest koru and me and my brother are under my mum and dad. I’m on top and my brother is under me. Under all of us I drew an ocean because I love the beach and a piano because I love playing the piano  underneath I drew a picture frame because I love art.
