The young artist enjoys painting because its messy. Reciting the list of the different colors she used in her painting, Maj shook her head up and down and smiled when her mother asked if she likes to make colorful paintings. One of her favorite colors is blue because it is the color of water. Maj wanted children in China to have the opportunity to see Michigan's beavers just like her. While she has seen beavers at the zoo, she likes to see one beaver in particular that has made its lodge in the Squaw Bay area.
Beavers look like they enjoy swimming.
She likes the animal because she likes to swim too. They also slap their tails on the ground and water. They've got tales and make slapping sounds. Maj's father Tony shares in his daughter's enthusiasm. Sue encouraged their daughter to start painting shortly after her first birthday.
