A charming and heartfelt tale of adventure about finding your self-confidence with a brilliant spot-and-find theme. From the exciting debut author-illustrator, Alice Courtley.
Maya loves her small perfect family - it's just her, Granny and their little kitten Sammy in their perfect peaceful house. So when Granny announces they are going on a big adventure to the city, Maya is scared. She's too small for the city, surely? And what about Sammy? When they arrive amongst the towering grey buildings, Maya discovers that Sammy has followed them! And when he escapes, Maya must face her fears and look after him.
A fun and adventurous story about getting out of your comfort zone and how the love and support of family can help you achieve almost anything.
