About the Author

Customer Reviews

Every time I read Maria Kawah Leung's book, I see hope for children and families. LITTLE HEROES OF BAY STREET: And How They Stay Strong In An Unhappy Home is a delightfully illustrated children’s book about a serious subject matter – domestic violence. The main characters are Mia (a little girl) and her Happy Dog (who is much much more than a stuffed animal). Happy Dog is Mia’s best friend and confidant. Together, they learn that friends do not have to always like the same things, and, that love means protecting and comforting each other. The author’s messages are empowering – “When you’re scared or sad, talk to grown-ups you trust.” and “It’s not a child’s job to make parents happy.” In interviews, Maria is articulate and has a lovely sense of humor. I blogged about her being interviewed by Kim McMillon, PhD on "Writers On Writing" https://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/educator-childrens-book-author-childrens-advocate-maria-kawah-leung-says-domestic-violence-awareness-is-about-helping-the-families-2/ This children’s book is endorsed by Hannah Yeoh who is a Member of Parliament in Malaysia. Ms. Yeoh read LITTLE HEROES OF BAY STREET live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k8DLcJlvVg Cheers to Maria Kawah Leung https://mariakawah.com/ and Happy Dog and Mia and all children! And to the illustrators: Maria Kawah Leung, Sandra Elyse Chavez, Maren Sleire Aasgaard! I hope this book will reach more children and their families through schools, community centers, and public libraries. May everyone feel safe and strong!
