Marianne lives to design and tinker.  
She’s a pint-sized, non-stop super thinker. 
 And when she’s not making…?  She’s conjuring tactics
 to get herself out of soccer practice. 

Inspired by creators like Marianne,

Kelly and Claire worked hand-in-hand

to write a story about the power of making

in rhythm and rhyme, so breathtaking.

Suffice to say, we’re over the moon

about our book, coming this June!

While you wait for your copy to arrive, take a listen to Kelly and Claire in conversations with some of the country’s most admired and experienced creatives:

PETE DOCTER (Oscar winning director from Pixar)

EDWARD BURNS + GRETCHEN MOL (filmmakers and actors)

IVY ROSS + SUSAN MAGSAMEN (authors of Your Brain on Art)

MEREDITH SCARDINO (force behind Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Girls 5eva)

Coming June 3rd

In a world of schedules, structure, and soccer practice, a girl like Marianne could get lost. She is (maybe like all of us) a maker. This is the story of how a young innovator dodges her Saturday commitments and with her stolen afternoon, a few unappreciated odds and ends from around the house and her sidekick, Patrick Swayze, creates a vehicle for her imagination. Creativity is Marianne’s calling. But will her dad understand?
