Praise for Maybe

“This is the most empowering kids’ book I’ve seen. It’s about letting kids know THEY MATTER. It’s about purpose and potential, with a touch of magic and realness. It’s the book every girl or boy should hear.” (Michelle Poler, HelloFears)

“Yamada’s joy and appreciation for life combined with Barouch’s deep love of nature has created an inspiring and absolutely stunning book that will undoubtedly speak to people of all ages.”(Bianca Schulze, The Children’s Book Review)

PRAISE FOR MAYBE

It would be a disservice to qualify Maybe as just a children s book. Children of all ages have dreams pulling them along, destinations and goals to meet along the path. But what truly matters is who we are along that journey. —Book PageA gentle, imaginative read brimming with positivity. Intricate illustrations in soft colors depict a child and their pet pig frolicking among whimsical scenes of the natural world. Straightforward prose with no more than a few sentences on each page encourages children to develop a creative, adventure-seeking spirit. —Allison Tran, Mission Viejo Library, CAMaybe is hands down one of my favorite books of the year. It is a book to pore over, to hug tightly, and to treasure for years to come.” —Happily Ever Elephants
