Already as a child, she liked to draw and paint. Now she also started to write stories. A lovely pug named Caesar was her main character. Although he is already gone, he still remains an important inspiration to her. Maya works a lot with paper. Except for writing and painting, she also works in paper maché and origami. She also teaches children and adults to fold their own origami creations.

Determined to spend Christmas with his grandfather, who lives on the other side of the mountain, Robin fills his backpack with clothes and a gift, grabs a sleeping bag, and sets off. Following rugged terrain, he encounters rough weather and a hungry falcon, and he crashes on his homemade snowboard before even marking the halfway point.

Happily, the elder mouse assures his grandson that the best gift of all is not the one that got away but Robin’s own arrival.
