Maya's Adventures

The Maya’s Adventures series celebrates Maya’s spirit and accomplishments. Jo Ann Briseño developed the idea for this series from napkin drawings she placed in her daughter's lunch box every day. Young readers learn that even though some experiences in life are difficult, challenges can be overcome, and a good attitude can make a world of difference. These books also show us that we have more commonalities that differences, celebrating the human spirit we all have.

A Day at the Library

Briseño’s first book in the Maya’s Adventures series is A Day at the Library. In it, we meet Maya, a spunky and fun-loving eight-year-old girl who just happens to have Down syndrome. Maya finds joy in a multitude of activities, so when her mom suggests going to the library, Maya enthusiastically agrees. She gathers the books she needs to return and is ready to go! Beautifully hand-colored illustrations engage children in a joyful story of learning what to expect. After all, libraries offer more than books and quiet spaces.
