Our world needs people with the mindset of fixing, not replacing. Here Kina learns to never give up on things she loves.


This book and the Kina’s Story series is the result of a beautiful coincidence. It is a retelling of short tories I wrote when I was 10 years old, found accidentally in my old archives. With some encouragement, I decided to simplify it and share it to the world with a mission: to promote literacy, bilingual learning, and meaningful moral stories accompanied by captivating imagery as beautifully crafted by my good friend Kathrin.



I hope that all of us - adults and children alike - can smile and find inspiration from these pages.



Yours truly,

Maudy Ayunda
