Synopsis
**WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL 2013-2014 MORNING CALM MEDAL**
This multicultural children's book presents a heartwarming Korean fairy tale about a little girl and a fortunate encounter.
Poverty is all Maya has ever known, but she doesn't allow it to stop her from caring for her father, and others, as best she can. Kind and gentle, she is a lovely young girl who always puts others first. One day, she finds a little turtle and takes him home, raising and loving him, never knowing that he will play an instrumental part in her destiny.
Similar to The Korean Cinderella, Maya and the Turtle, is an original Korean fairy tale by authors John Stickler and Soma Han that teaches children that the road to greatness lies in selflessness and that the loving kindness of a pure heart can awaken great love and power in another. Beautifully illustrated by Han, this book contains fascinating bits of information about Korean culture and is a poignant tale about the rewards of kindness, patience and courage.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Maya's mother is a gentle soul. When she dies she bequeaths her daughter the task of caring for her father - and for herself. For her mother once had a dream that Maya was meant for great things, and it was the kind of dream that always comes true. Although she is poor, Maya grows kinder and more beautiful with each passing year. One day, she finds a little turtle and takes him home, raising and caring for him, never knowing that he will play a part in her destiny. Beautifully illustrated filled with fascinating nuggets of information about Korean culture, this book offers beautiful Korean tale of the rewards of kindness, patience, and a loving heart, and a lesson in how true glory - even if foretold - must be earned."An original folk tale set in Korea tells the story of a selfless young maiden who is sacrificed to the monster in the neighboring village. [.] The core of the story (a girl sacrifices herself to aid her ailing father) is both strong from a plot point and a significant theme in Korean tales."-Kirkus Reviews "An original folk tale set in Korea tells the story of a selfless young maiden who is sacrificed to the monster in the neighboring village.
