Overview

Ta Is... is a lyrical, heart-centered picture book that honors the bond between a child and her ta - the kind of grownup who builds blanket forts, sneaks snacks in the car, folds napkins into flowers, and cheers you on like it's her job. Through poetic storytelling and vibrant watercolor illustrations, Ta Is... celebrates the quiet rituals, emotional constancy, and playful chaos that define this tender relationship - one rooted in presence, not perfection. Written for children ages 4 to 10 (and the grownups who love them), Ta Is... gently explores emotional literacy, connection across generations, and the idea that love doesn't have to be loud to last forever. It's a soft invitation into the kind of care that lingers - the kind you remember with your whole heart.

Maria Lucas is the creator of the Ta-Verse - a poetic universe of stories, keepsakes, and connection for children and the grownups who love them. With a background in family sciences, emotional storytelling, and law, Maria designs experiences rooted in softness, strategy, and soul.

Through lyrical books and sensory storytelling, she invites families to slow down, feel deeply, and return to what matters. Her stories are crafted not just to entertain, but to endure - gentle enough for a child's heart, true enough for a grownup's tenderness. She believes softness is a strength, and that stories can be sacred. Every word she writes is meant to linger long after the last page. Crafted To Be Kept - just like the memories they carry.
