Going To Bat

A book that through Maya and mind help to tell to story of life and the problems and issues that may occur and how we can deal with them. By listening to her inner voice Maya learns good habits that will help her both now and in the future.

A fun and in parts funny book about Maya and mind (her inner voice)
As Maya goes through day to day life she come up against struggles and problems. This book is great and showing how she deal with these things with the help of mind. She tackles anxiety and other stresses and put into place good habits to help both now and in the future.
It is really good at showing children that these problem will occur and that these things can be made bette by listening to your inner voice and taking time to make good and positive changes.

A book about family life, trying your best and not giving up. Maya prepares for a cricket competition but lots of things create challenges along the way!

I liked this book about a girl called Maya and her family. At first I found the mind part a bit confusing but I soon realised this was her thoughts. The book has quite long chapters so took me a while to finish. I think the illustrations help to understand the story too. It has a great ending. I would recommend this book for children aged 7 plus.

We enjoyed the book but found it took us a little while to get into it. It does have a good ending though which is always good!

I read this book with my youngest daughter who is 7. We enjoyed the book but found it took us a little while to get into it. It does have a good ending though which is always good!
My daughter has learnt about wellbeing and mindfulness at school only recently so this story worked well with that learning. The chapters were quite long - but I think this would be suitable for 7 year olds and above.
Overall a delightful story with beautiful illustrations, which are great to enhance the story for young readers.
I understand there is a book 1, so I will track down a copy of Sunita's first book now I that we enjoyed this one (although it's not necessary to read them in order).
