A non-fiction children’s picture book about Stephen Haskell:

Tap Tap Tap

While Jack waited for his mum, he and his dad wandered the streets of Auckland. Dad told the story of Stephen Haskell, he’d come all the way from America over one hundred years ago. It had been a long journey and Stephen was looking for a room to rent, thankfully he found one at a boarding house on Turner Street belonging to Edward Hare.

But, what were the strange sounds coming from Stephen’s room? Would Edward pluck up the courage to ask? What curious new device sat behind the door keeping the guests awake at night?

It was something new—just like Stephen’s message for the people of New Zealand.
