Maya is a three-year old Eastern European girl with a big personality. She moves to Rigglesnortville, USA with her mom, who she affectionately calls Mamochka and her older sister, Mira. Maya meets and befriends Hatty and Barty, who also live in Rigglesnortville, and she is first introduced in the Hatty and Barty Adventures Month Eight book. ¿The real-life Maya presently lives in the war-torn territory of Ukraine. Although these adventures are fictional, your larger than life personality has been an inspiration to me! A trust has been set up called Maya's Adventures Trust where 50% of the net proceeds of sales for the 'Maya's Adventures' book series will go to Maya and her family.
