This is the original edition of Maya & Robobo, published by Picus Verlag in Vienna, Austria. Translated into English and published by Ragged Bears in 2020, this wonderful novel looks at a friendship developing between Maya and a friendly robot who wants to learn about human emotions. (Let's not go there with the whole AI debate!;) It also has a well being section in the appendix with simple techniques to preserve one's sanity and help children learn ways to dissolve anxiety and stress in accessible, user friendly ways! 💗

About Us

Ragged Bears was created by Charles Shirley to bring the best of children's independent publishing from all over the world to the British market. He worked previously for many years at Methuen & ABP & he was involved with publishing classics such as Winnie the Pooh, Tintin, Wind in The Willows, Babar and Miffy, to name a few - as well as a variety of adult books ranging from the King James Bible to Monty Python.

Ragged Bears was founded by Charles and his wife Pamela in 1986. Within a short space of time it became a successful sales, marketing and distribution company building a reputation for bringing wonderful children's books from all over the world to the UK. Ragged Bears then created its own publishing division, producing some best selling books for children.

Ragged Bears is still family run and our aims today remain true to the original intention; to publish engaging, interesting & eclectic books which will inspire a love of learning and be accessible to all children via schools and libraries, as well as via shops. We seek to create books which are relevant to the issues children face today, as well as classic stories with timeless appeal. Thank you for visiting our page!
