Maya - A Very Special Day

Cuddle away fears together: Maya shows how safe the world can feel.

Maya is new to her pack. As a small miniature schnauzer puppy, she explores the world with pure curiosity. But when a "very special day" approaches, the mood changes: Her big sister Charly trembles at the thought of the vet visit. Maya senses the tension, but she herself doesn't even know what "fear" actually is.
In this unique story told from an intimate first-person perspective, children experience how fear dissipates when comfort and trust come first.

Sarah Mars sensitively tells how the dreaded "jab" goes completely unnoticed because love is stronger. A book that shows: You are safe, you are loved – and courage grows where the family sticks together.

In summary:

• The anti-fear book: Gently demystifies classic everyday worries and shows that fear is often just a learned feeling that you don't have to have.
• Unique perspective: Told from a puppy's direct point of view – creates immediate closeness and identification.
• Reading gold that grows with you: Ideal as a read-aloud book from 3 years old and later perfect as a first self-reading book for primary school (clear language).
• Tactile experience: A high-quality, sturdy board book, made for small children's hands – durable and robust.
• Aesthetic delight: The warm-hearted, expressive illustrations by Pei Pei Siew invite repeated viewing.
• Tip: Also available in the German edition «Maya – Ein besonderer Tag» for a playful start to language learning.

Accompany Maya and discover with her how to overcome any challenge with courage and a loving pack – no matter how small you are!
