Description:

Young Maya is shy, and often feels fragile and scared because of her asthma... except when he's in the water, the only place he feels strong. While many in the fishing village of Nazaré fear the "Monster" — the giant wave that can be heard all over the town when it breaks — Maya finds it beautiful and mesmerizing. He dreams of surfing the waves like the brave boys he watches from the beach. Many, however, doubt that a girl can tame such big waves... With a special board offered by her father and a heart full of courage, Maya will show everyone that a girl can, indeed, face the Monster.Maya and the Monster, with beautiful illustrations by Ramona Kaulitzki, is the inspiring story of Maya Gabeira, who left her name in history by breaking world records. An album about how willpower and courage can transform apparent fragility into something as powerful as the waves of the sea.
