Maya Onodera studied law in Tokyo, Japan and art history in Bonn, Germany. During these studies, she discovered her fascination with picture books. As a child, she already liked to draw and paint. Now she also started to write stories. A lovely pug named Caesar was her main character. Although Caesar is already gone, he still remains an important inspiration to her. Maya works a lot with paper. Except for writing and painting, she also works in papier-mâché and origami. She also teaches children and adults to fold their own origami creations.
