About this title

Synopsis

Maya Moves to a New Country has won several book awards and recently honored as Nautilus Gold Award winning book in the children's fiction illustrated category. This interactive book shares a moving story, stunning illustrations and a powerful message for military children about change, hope and courage.

Maya lives with her parents in the US where she has lots of friends and enjoys playing with them. One day, Maya's Dad who serves in the US Navy shares some big news. The family is moving to a new country.

Maya is confused, happy, sad, a little bit scared and really unsure of many things. She must brace herself for the unknown- new places, new faces, new food and even a new language!

Maya learns that in the military, whether you are young or old, we must sometimes leave the life we know for the unknown. And make it work. With support, Maya learns to grow, flourish, and thrive in her new country. She writes in journal and decides to share her story with other military children.

Maya Moves to a New Country is a story of hope, friendship and adventure that aims to instill courage and positive attitude in children and really anyone when you have to embrace change.
