Maya and the Monster
Young Maya is shy, and often feels frail and frightened because of her asthma... except when she is in the water, the only place where she feels strong. While many in the fishing village of Nazaré fear the "Monster" — the giant wave that can be heard throughout the town when it breaks —, Maya finds it beautiful and mesmerizing. She dreams of surfing the waves like the brave boys she watches from the beach. Many, however, doubt that a girl can tame such big waves... With a special board given to her by her father and a heart full of courage, Maya will show everyone that a girl can indeed face the Monster.
Maya Gabeira, who made history by breaking world records, tells in Maya and the Monster, with beautiful illustrations by Ramona Kaulitzki, how willpower and courage can make apparent fragility become as strong as the waves of the sea.
