Maya learns, laughs, and experiences the world in her own special way.
Some things take Maya a little longer to learn. Some things require extra practice. But Maya notices things others miss - a friend who feels sad, someone who needs help, or a quiet moment when kindness matters most.
One day, Maya remembers something her mother once told her: she was born with something extra. An extra chromosome. And that extra something is part of what makes Maya wonderfully herself.
Maya's Extra Something is a warm and thoughtful children's story that introduces young readers to Down syndrome through compassion, understanding, and acceptance. Part of the Fearfully and Wonderfully Made series, the book helps children see that growing differently does not mean growing less.
Through Maya's story, readers learn that everyone develops in their own time and that kindness, patience, and respect help create a world where every child belongs.
Perfect for families, classrooms, counselors, and caregivers, this story encourages meaningful conversations about inclusion and celebrates the beauty of being fearfully and wonderfully made.
