Maia is an impatient little scamp. When something pops into her head, she wants it. Now! Right this minute! Her grandma’s just the same and they get along like a house on fire. One day Grandma falls ill and loses her control over words. The grown-ups don’t seem to understand her, but Maia never loses sight of her strong, wonderful grandma and knows exactly what she means.

A beautiful and accessible book about the enduring relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter in the face of illness and aging.

Written by Tine Mortier and illustrated by Kaatje Vermeire, Maia and what Matters has been translated from the original Dutch by Australian translator David Colmer.

Thanks to the generous people at Book Island, we have two copies of Maia and What Matters to give away. Each book is valued at NZ$29.99. This giveaway is part of the Meet Maia blog tour. See other blog tour details at the end of this post.
