Publisher Description
Maya Awakens is an illustrated eco-feminist parable told through the dreamtime adventures of Maya, a Cairn terrier, Seamus, a Shih Tzu, and Tessa, a yellow-eyed cat. Upon passing through the crack between the worlds, the trio encounters Mother Gaia, who charges them to recover her lost veil. Their quest through an Alice-In-Wonderland-like landscape created with special-effects photographs is supported by a host of other fantastical animals. Perseverance, compassion, and teamwork enable the trio to overcome the obstacles in their path and finally return home -- tired, as one might expect -- but also mindful evermore -- or, at least until the next trip to dreamtime. Maya Awakens makes a sincere contribution to the growing collection of artistic efforts intended to promote awareness and improve the care of our planet and all the living things on it.

“I loved this book. It’s a fun fantasy story with its beautiful, colorful pictures of 2 dogs and a cat who on their dreamtime journey unveil the illusion of what they believe to be real, and discover their own truths. It’s witty, fun, and very insightful. This book is suitable for all ages. For kids its a fun tale of two dogs on a journey in a fantasy land. For adults and teens it makes us think about our own delusional illusions and shows us that if we open ourselves to the divine feminine within, we can understand the lessons of her love”.

Maya Awakens is a treasure trove, anyone who reads this book has found a cozy corner for a short time. It was retreat for my mind and a dialogue with the feminine spirit. The photographs are vivid, glorious and a prism of delights. This marvelous tale of friendship between Maya and Seamus, two little dogs brings to mind our own experiences with love, honor and loyalty. This book was a moment of self-discovery, mindfulness & contemplation, a gift to myself. I encourage others to dive into "the crack between the worlds" and draw closer to nature and the realities of this life. Thank you!!
