Creating Joyful Moments of Discovery
Where Are You Going, Little Max? follows a little mouse as he visits various farm animals to collect items to bring back to his family, always ensuring he uses good manners. What was the inspiration for the character of Max?
I wanted to create a character that young children could easily connect with through simple and relatable actions. Max represents a child’s natural curiosity and openness to the world. His politeness and kindness set a good example, helping children understand the importance of respecting others. I also wanted Max to feel like a warm and friendly companion, someone children could see as a caring friend.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
I aimed to show little ones how wonderful and diverse the world around them can be. Through Max’s adventures, I wanted to convey that kindness and politeness help build friendships and make each journey more enjoyable. It was important to create joyful moments of discovery for children, introducing them to the sounds, colors, and images of different animals in a way that felt exciting and engaging.
What were some goals you set for yourself as a writer in this book?
My main goal as an author was to make the story simple and accessible for young readers. I focused on creating a plot that not only holds their attention but also teaches valuable life lessons. Additionally, I wanted children to learn something new about farm life and animals. The illustrations play an important role here, adding detail and helping to make Max’s adventures vibrant, easy to follow, and memorable for young readers.
I hope the series continues in other books. If so, where will the story take readers?
The series already continues in Where Have You Been, Little Max?, where Max embarks on adventures beyond the farm. He visits the zoo to meet lions, giraffes, and elephants, heads to the beach to see dolphins and crabs, and enjoys the fair with games and sweets. Max ends his day in the park, playing and watching squirrels.
I truly hope that the continuation of Max’s adventures will bring as much joy to children and their parents as the first book did. These new journeys are designed to be both entertaining and educational, encouraging young readers to discover the world alongside a kind and curious character.
