Description:
<p><strong>Maya went into her box when a classmate teased her, and again when another hurt her feelings.</strong></p>
<p>Now she’s there most of the time. It’s safe and quiet and best of all it can be anything she wants it to be. She brings it on bike rides and to school, and while kids used to notice it, now they barely see her at all. But Maya can't help but wonder if there might be something she's missing. Yes, it's noisy and scary out there, but it's also exciting and fun. Finally, Maya bravely decides to step out into the sunshine and find her place in the world—outside her box.</p><p><strong>Key Selling Points</strong></p>
<ul><li>Maya retreats into her box when she's teased by classmates, because inside, she can be herself. But as time passes, she realizes that there's a lot she's missing and bravely steps back outside to embrace the world.</li>
<li>This story gets across the vulnerability of being different or left out, while highlighting the resilience of the main character and her way of coping, in a warm, relatable and comforting way.</li>
<li>The central metaphor of the box would provide a great springboard for discussion of figurative language and how sometimes metaphors can express feelings and situations that are harder to explain directly.</li>
<li>Brady Sato's bright and expressive illustrations bring out both the beauty of Maya's inner world and then, when she gets the courage to embrace the outside again, the vibrancy of the world around us.</li>
<li>Alison Hughes has published 20 books for children and young adults and was a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Awards and CBC Nonfiction Prize.</li>
