What is Maya and the Beast about?

Young Maya is shy and often frightened by her asthma, but she feels strong and free in the sea. While her seaside town fears the enormous wave known as the Beast, Maya sees its beauty and longs to ride it. With her pink surfboard and determined spirit, she faces the giant wave head-on. Inspired by professional surfer Maya Gabeira’s childhood and record-breaking career, this illustrated tale follows a girl who challenges fear, doubt and expectations to discover her own courage.
