Maya and the Turtle: A Korean Fairy Tale by Soma Han and John C. Stickler

Read aloud by John C. Stickler 

Prize-Winning Oriental Fairy Tale Returns as Unique Audiobook

A classic Korean lesson in filial piety, respect for one's parents, is presented in an engaging Cinderella story. Maya and the Turtle: A Korean Fairy Tale originally debuted as a picture book from Tuttle Publishing written and illustrated by Soma Han and John Stickler. Now it reappears as a unique, 11-minute audiobook narrated by Talulah Shadrick, age 12.

As Publishers Weekly reviewed the picture book: "The husband-and-wife team of Stickler and Han retells a fairy tale from Han's childhood, in which a young woman's kindness and bravery are rewarded handsomely." The American Library Association, in their online Booklistnewsletter, praised the new audiobook, "Child actor Shadrick gives a charming performance . . . dramatically flawless."

The audio retail price is reduced through December. To hear a one-minute sample of Talulah's audio debut, or to order a download, visit: www.libro.fm and type Maya and the Turtle in the search box.

Unknown to the authors, Maya was entered into a competition held by 15 international schools (instruction in English) across South Korea. Students in grades 4-6 were introduced to four new children's books, given one school year to read them all, and then asked to vote for their favorite. Across all schools Maya was the most popular and took home the international Morning Calm Medal.

British schoolchildren ages 9-12 sat as judges in the 2020 Wishing Shelf  Book Awards and gave Maya  four stars in the prestigious annual competition. The official announcement July 2021 lauded the audiobook as a finalist "highly recommended!"
