Teine Sāmoa was originally written and published as an ebook during the New Zealand lockdown in May 2020. The story follows the journey of cultural identity and discovery for four junior high school students, their families and their teachers and, most importantly, anyone who has ever faced the challenges of being a teine Sāmoa.

The paperback edition of Teine includes the original Teine Sāmoa story, study questions for students and the Teine Sāmoa Project, a space created for teine Sāmoa to share their real life stories.
