This story is about a little girl named Maya who is expected to give her aunt a kiss, but doesn't feel comfortable doing so. Angry, she goes to 'her' forest, where she is able to think more clearly.
Maya also tells her troubles to a trusted neighbour, elderly Mrs Morales, who lives alone except for her cat. Mrs Morales helps Maya think through her problem, and come to a conclusion as to what to do about it.
A well told and thoughtful tale which guides children to listen to their intuition, find comfort in nature, share their problems with a caring adult, and to know they deserve respect. And adults could learn a thing or two from it, as well.
