My name is Maiya, an ordinary little girl who is neither a princess nor a fairy. My emotions are like a tornado—they rush in and out quickly. Some people call me clever, while others nicknamed me “Little Careless.” This year, I proudly became a primary school student!

My life is full of adventures: At first, my heart fluttered like a little bird, both excited and nervous about the unfamiliar school. But soon, new experiences and funny mishaps kept bubbling up—I met my new deskmate, but got so absorbed in observing snails that I forgot about class; I learned to comfort upset classmates and began to understand the importance of keeping promises sealed with a pinky swear; I create joyful memories with my kind grandfather, though we sometimes quarrel over trivial matters; I desperately yearn for my own pet, and through this, I deeply grasped the weight of “responsibility” for the very first time…

This book collects ten stories about my growth. After each story, there is a “30-Second Psychological Comic” that acts like fast-forwarding the little theater in my mind, clearly showing me: what to do when scared of new surroundings, why we should follow group rules, how to treasure time with family, how to handle teasing from others, and even how to cheer on the sometimes-timid version of myself.
Here, you'll witness me transform from a nervous little “bean bun” into a child who learns to care more and dare to take on responsibilities. I hope my stories make you laugh out loud while also helping you discover your own courage and wisdom.
