The sand dunes of Ahipara are the back drop for the second children's book based on Northland's rescue helicopter service.
The book, Lima Leaps to the Rescue, was launched at Saint Francis Xavier Catholic School on Thursday. Okaihau School also hosted a launch yesterday during their annual grandparents day.
It follows last year's Juliet to the Rescue book, which proved popular. Both were illustrated by Auckland artist Tony McNeight.
Tama, Poppy and Jack, the characters from the first book feature in the second one, along with new characters Kenny the Kereru and siblings Ollie and Tia.
