Maya is excited to join Cricket Club at school, but between sports superstars, the big green monster, and her ACTUAL MUM coming to coach the team, she has a lot to handle. And on top of that, Mind thinks they've forgotten something important... like sending a letter to Grandad in India! Can Maya and Mind work it all out in time for their big cricket game? Funny, and with heaps of heart, this is a delightful story for younger readers accompanied by beautiful and dynamic illustrations. "An adorable mindfulness story with a splash of funny." Rashmi Sirdeshpande "A comedy double-act starring a young girl named Maya, and Mind, the physical manifestation of Maya's emotions and mental state. There's a relatable dynamic between the pair, with Mind hindering and helping Maya in equal measure, and the book serves as a great introduction to emotional literacy for younger readers."
