Hello! I'm Maya Turner, a children’s book illustrator with a love for all things animated. Growing up in a small coastal town, I was the kid who always had a sketchbook in hand and stories to tell. My passion for art led me to a career where I get to bring magical worlds to life for young readers. Whether I'm creating playful characters or illustrating dreamy landscapes, I always aim to spark a sense of wonder and joy. Animation has been a lifelong love, offering endless inspiration for my own work and a chance to experience new worlds and perspectives.

When I’m not working on illustrations, you can usually find me watching animated movies or writing heartfelt reviews on my blog. I adore films that capture both beauty and adventure, like How to Train Your Dragon, Wall-E, and Howl's Moving Castle. My reviews are a mix of personal reflections and honest critiques—I aim to capture the emotional journey of each film, sharing what moved me, what surprised me, and even what didn’t quite hit the mark. I hope my reviews inspire others to see these films through a fresh lens and maybe even find a new favorite!
