Meet Maya Cat: A story about acceptance. - Paperback

by Harrison Makofsky (Illustrator), Lauren Beader (Author)

This adorable picture book starring Instagram's @meetmayacat teaches children of all ages to accept those who are different.

Written to normalize physical, developmental, and emotional disabilities or conditions of all kinds, this book can open everyone's eyes to the idea that every life deserves love and acceptance. It encourages children to treat others as they want to be treated, and encourages inclusion through the metaphor of a silly little cat.

Younger children can relate to basic behaviors of a cat (or child) who doesn't look or act like they do, while older children can understand why they should treat others with kindness.

All profits from this book will be donated to The Odd Cat Sanctuary and Special Olympics Massachusetts.
