About this product
Product Information
Maya's mother is a gentle soul. When she dies she bequeaths her daughter the task of caring for her father -- and for herself. For her mother once had a dream that Maya was meant for great things, and it was the kind of dream that always comes true. Although she is poor, Maya grows kinder and more beautiful with each passing year. One day, she finds a little turtle and takes him home, raising and caring for him, never knowing that he will play a part in her destiny. Beautifully illustrated filled with fascinating nuggets of information about Korean culture, this book offers beautiful Korean tale of the rewards of kindness, patience, and a loving heart, and a lesson in how true glory - even if foretold - must be earned. "An original folk tale set in Korea tells the story of a selfless young maiden who is sacrificed to the monster in the neighboring village. [...] The core of the story (a girl sacrifices herself to aid her ailing father) is both strong from a plot point and a significant theme in Korean tales..."-- Kirkus Reviews

Maya and the Turtle' is a beautifully illustrated and poignant tale about the rewards of kindness, patience and encouragement, and a lesson in how true glory must be earned. Maya's selflessness and generosity perfectly illustrate the deceptively simple moral of this book--when a heart is pure and kind and loving, surprising and wonderful things can happen. Even when hope seems lost. -- Adoption Today magazine, "It explores the idea of filial piety and the gorgeous illustrations with the text teach us a great deal about Korean life. It is a beautiful tale that we have read many times in our home. It inspires children to care for others and respect their environment and living beings. Maya is rewarded for her goodness.

To the couple's credit, their version gets a 21st-century update: almost every page has a contextual note explaining something cultural, historical, or just downright tongue-in-cheek; and the multi-culti angle gets celebrated with a strikingly detailed, full spread-the royal couple is indeed flanked by "people from many lands," many colors, many cultures and backgrounds.
