Erika Hajdu

Erika Hajdu believes in the power of imagination to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. As a child, she imagined wild adventures—like staying overnight in a store—sparking this story about a girl and boy turning a boring situation into an exciting adventure. In addition to writing, Erika stretches her creativity through painting, drawing, and crafting. An avid reader herself, she hopes her book inspires young minds to dream big, think creatively, and most importantly, have fun while doing it. This is her debut as a children’s book author.

A simple shopping trip turns into a whirlwind of imagination for Mia and her friend Liam! From candy aisles to toy castles, bicycles to bouncing beds, the department store feels like the ultimate playground where anything is possible. But when the fun of pretending to stay overnight suddenly collides with the reality of getting lost, Mia and Liam must remember what to do — and discover that family, love, and a scoop of ice cream are the sweetest parts of any adventure. 

Full of playful daydreams, gentle lessons, and colorful fun, Mia’s Big Store Adventure is the perfect story for sparking imagination during ordinary scenarios.
