Witi Ihimaera--author, novelist, short story writer, anthologist and librettist. Ihimaera, a New Zealander, was born in Gisborne. Witi Ihimaera was the first-ever recorded Maori to publish books--stories-- about Maori rather than a European. Several of the short stories that Witi Ihimaera had written were adapted into a film, including; 'Mahana', 'Déwé Gorodé : Écrire Le Pays', 'White Lies', 'Kawa' and 'Whale Rider' in no particular order.

We now begin to look at one of his works titled "Yellow Brick Road". Before doing so questions need to be answered. The meaning of the title, I've watched "The Wizard of OZ" and have known that the "Yellow Brick Road" is the way home. It may be that the story surrounds that idea of home, or at least the want to be home. By following the path you'll be led to your home, the place which brings you comfort.
The title "Yellow Brick Road" could imply that following the path in front of you may lead home. It may also imply that the character wants to go back home instead of being in a place new to them.
