Maya looks on the bright Side Paperback – August 5, 2020

I absolutely love this book. The message is great and simple enough for even young children to understand, but also a great message for adults as well. I loved the illustrations and loved the fact that Maya looks like my stepdaughter. She even asked me if that was her in the book. I love seeing a mixed raced family represented in a children’s book because it is becoming increasingly more common. Representation matters. The book is an absolute delight.

This book will allow the reader and listener to grow. It should be read to the children every so often. This is one key to self preservation!

The story flows really well and is a pleasure to read. This is the type of story that will stay in children's imaginations, even years later. The illustrations are also stunning. I would love for Stephanie to write more books on other important life lessons.

Bought several copies to gift to my friends with kids. The parents and kids seemed to enjoy it very much.

What a wonderful little book. it is beautifully illustrated. All little children should read it. They can learn to turn a bad situation into a good one. Adult can also learn from it. The principle applies to everybody.

Cute book that is about optimism. It’s paper back. My 5 year old enjoyed it.

The picture book has the most wonderful illustrations and message! It is a great read for any reader - from a younger reader who is learning to read to an older reader in need of some motivation :) highly recommend

First, maya looks on the bright side was adorable. Second, I love how it’s inspiring for kids to see the brighter side of things and third detailed enough for them to understand great job Steph!

とても良かったです。思い通りにならない事があっても、ポジティブに過ごしたい。子供も大人も楽しめると思います。
