It’s for who you are right now and it’s for all the magical, unbounded potential you hold inside.

Praise for Maybe

"You need this book if you're young or old, if you read it to your kids or if you read it to yourself. You need it if you're lost, if you need reassurance, or if you just like to feel good." (Karin Myers, The Children's Book Library)

"This is the most empowering kids’ book I’ve seen. It’s about letting kids know THEY MATTER. It’s about purpose and potential, with a touch of magic and realness. It’s the book every girl or boy should hear." (Michelle Poler, HelloFears)

“Yamada’s joy and appreciation for life combined with Barouch’s deep love of nature has created an inspiring and absolutely stunning book that will undoubtedly speak to people of all ages.”(Bianca Schulze, The Children’s Book Review)

“Dream, discover, love, speak your mind, and above all follow your heart, encouraged by this collection of reveries exploring a myriad of beautiful what-ifs and maybes.” (Pallas Gates McCorquodale, Foreword Reviews)

“Maybe is inspiration tucked inside an adventure, perfect for readers of any age who may be asking, ‘What next?’” (Jill Lorenzini, BookPage)

“Have you ever picked up a book and found yourself holding your breath as you turned the pages? That was my exact response to Maybe. It can only be described as absolutely breathtaking.” (Dawn Mooney, 5 Minutes for Books)

"In Maybe, Yamada beautifully expresses the ideals every adult wants their children to know and embrace. He offers reassurance that discovering one’s gift, place, or method of influence is not a one-time thing or quickly and easily found, and he encourages readers to take their time, explore, think, and keep their eyes and hearts open.” (Kathryn Carroll, Celebrate Picture Books)

"If you have been looking for a gorgeous book to use as a keepsake, look no further. This new release is positively stunning and celebrates the potential and possibility in children." (Clarissa Schweider, Book Nerd Mommy)

Title: Outstanding artwork and a wonderful message
Review: The book, Maybe, will mesmerize you instantly with its beautiful artwork. The illustrator captures darkness and light beautifully. There is so much detail in the illustrations that you will notice a different object on one of the pages that connects to the story, every time you reread this book. Along with the beautiful artwork, readers will also be exposed to the message of helping others and their world. What a great book to read to students at the beginning or end of the school year.

Title: Perfect book
Review: I have one book for my daughter and another for my son, having their teachers write an inspiring message in the book each year, so I can give them to them on graduation. This is the perfect book for this, since it's written so well and the artwork is beautiful. I highly recommend, if not for a gift, just to read to your kids.

Title: Beautiful beyond words ❤️
Review: This book is so special. Before reading it to my kids (3 & 5) I explained that the little person in the story represents all of us. It had been one of the more tough days parenting when I read it to them for the first time and the story brought me to tears when it spoke about falling down and making a mess of things (I felt I had that day) but then “ you will also get back up, you will rise a little stronger and a little taller, Because there really is more inside you than you know. And this world needs your gifts, your talents, your big ideas”. The illustrations are so magical, while gardening the following day we found a half walnut shell that looked just like the little boat in the book which helped bring it to life even more. I will be ordering more copies for good close friends.

The simple yet profound words of Kobi Yamada capture the essence of hope, the fear of uncertainty and the strength of resilience in us all, brimming throughout with positive affirmation that you can do, and be whatever you wish. With absolutely stunning painterly illustrations by Gabriella Barouch, Maybe is a wonderful gift for all ages and perfect for helping young readers to believe in themselves and what they can achieve.
