Maya Saves the Day Maya Saves the Day contains three stories. In ‘The Tiger in Maya’s House’, young Maya creates a satisfying amount of chaos while bravely pursuing an escaped tiger. ‘Maya’s Parents are Very Naughty’ begins with a normal family outing to the shops but when Maya and her baby sister realise that they have become separated from their parents, a very curious Maya eventually finds a solution that lets them know in no uncertain terms how naughty they are for wandering off. I love this story for the real bravery it encapsulates (it is unthinkable that Maya herself might consider herself lost – logically, how can she be when she knows exactly where she is) and because it is so empowering for young children.
