A fairy tale of big waves and even bigger courage, inspired by the personal story of professional surfer Maya Gabeira, who smashed records and gender stereotypesYoung Maya is shy and often feels fragile and scared because of her asthma, except when she's in the water-it's the one place where she feels strong. While everyone else in her town is scared of "the Beast," the giant wave heard all around the world as it crashes into the shoreline, Maya finds the noise comforting, the curves of the wave soothing. If she could only tame it, then everyone could see all the beauty it has to offer. With a pink surfboard and a determined heart, Maya will be the first girl to meet the Beast head-on. Professional surfer Maya Gabeira, known for surfing Guinness World Record-breaking big waves, shares her story of resilience, defying expectations of women in sports, and daring to achieve the impossible. Beautifully illustrated by Ramona Kaulitzki, Maya and the Beast is an empowering reminder that every fear can be conquered and every Beast can be tamed.

ONCE UPON A TIME, in a fishing village called Nazar , there lived a Beast.

This Beast wasn t an animal or a monster. It was a wave made of water.

And not just any wave: On special winter days, it could be taller than a seven-story building.

Taller than the Christ in Rio de Janeiro or the Tower of London. Bigger than a blue whale,

the biggest animal to ever exist!

When it crashed, it made a loud and scary sound. The people of Nazar could hear it from

their homes. Tucked into their beds at night, they could feel the windows shake and the

ground vibrate from the Beast.
