    About the Book

    Maks & Mila On a Special Journey, is the first book in an upcoming series of beautifully illustrated books, which use the power of reflection and repetition, to help children develop Joy, Compassion, Gratitude, Generosity and Self- Confidence in their lives.

    Written by first time author Merel Bakker, the books also feature a special award-winning font, which makes the books easier to read for children with dyslexia.

    Through uplifting narrative and positive reinforcement, the storylines of Maks & Mila use a special technique providing the perfect tool for children to embrace Wise and Happy thoughts.

    In the first book of the series, Maks & Mila On a Special Journey, we see these two loveable characters embark with their SECRET SUITCASE. The SECRET SUITCASE is a key component in the book, and the series, as it encourages children, their storytellers and parents to join them for a special journey. And what a fun journey that is!
