Maju, Stop Talking!

To you, who is reading this, does the same thing that happens to me happens to you?
Ah, sorry. Right, talking without introducing oneself is having bad manners. It’s just that when I start talking, I don’t realize it, and then I don’t stop.

Maju is eight years old. She lives with her parents and her grandmother Zulma. She is funny, talkative, playful and righteous. Two out of three times she messes up, but always for something that she thinks is worth it. Her dream is to be a soccer referee, and for that she practices at school breaks.
Maju talks all the time, just like her grandmother and her friend Julia, with whom she shares the classroom. At school they live all kinds of experiences and adventures, some of them beautiful and others not so much. Maju can’t stop talking a lot, however, this feature makes her a very funny and cute girl. A story full of humour and mischief.
