Maya and the Turtle Hardcover - 2012
by John C. Stickler; Soma Han; Soma Han (Illustrator)
Summary
Poverty is all Maya has ever known, but she doesn't allow it to stop her from caring for her father, and others, as best she can. Kind and gentle, she is a lovely young girl who always puts others first. One day, she finds a little turtle and takes him home, raising and loving him, never knowing that he will play an instrumental part in her destiny.
Maya and the Turtle is a beautifully illustrated and poignant tale about the rewards of kindness, patience and courage, and a lesson in how true glory must be earned. Because it takes the loving kindness of a pure heart to awaken great love and power in another.

Media reviews
"In between "Long, long ago …" and "… happily ever after," is a story passed down from grandmother to mother to daughter, as co-author and illustrator Soma Han writes in her "AuthorÆs Note." That in itself is a lovely tale indeed. […] The husband-and-wife team create their second title together, drawing on Han's Korean heritage, and Stickler's 13 years of Korean residency. To the couple's credit, their version gets a 21st-century update: almost every page has a contextual note explaining something cultural, historical, or just downright tongue-in-cheek; and the multi-culti angle gets celebrated with a strikingly detailed, full spread—the royal couple is indeed flanked by "people from many lands," many colors, many cultures and backgrounds. Hope springs eternal for world peace.""—BookDragon.com
