Maya’s life and work is a never-ending happy project, where she strives to add a small piece of happiness to a person's day with a smile or laugh in the picture books she illustrates and sometimes write. She also design children's books created by brilliant authors and illustrators during the day for Penguin Random House.
When Maya is not designing, illustrating, or thinking about children's books, you can find her baking desserts, eating ice cream, or searching for the perfect scone just outside of Boston.
Her works include THE BEAR IN MY FAMILY (Dial 2019), SUNDAY PANCAKES (Dial 2021), DANDELION MAGIC (Dial 2019, written by Darren Farrell), GIVE THIS BOOK AWAY (Knopf 2023, written by Darren Farrell), MOLE IS NOT ALONE (Holt, 2023), and forthcoming OTTER CARRIES ON (Holt/Macmillan 2025), LION IN BED (Dial, 2025), and SUGAR GLIDER (Holt/Macmillan 2026)
