My inspiration for writing Maya’s Cultural Day is my own childhood experience of growing up in an area that was not very diverse, and I went to a school that was not very diverse and so I did feel there was a lack of understanding at times about cultural diversity.

I believe that what we learn in our childhood in many ways shapes the way we think and do things as an adult. In today’s wonderfully diverse world, teaching kids about different traditions, customs and languages at an early age helps to foster empathy, understanding and respect and contributes to creating a society that embraces diversity and unity.

The book showcases a few of the many beautiful cultures surrounding us.
