We are hooked on making and have come to believe that making is an irreplaceable part of every life — not only as a driving factor in individual well being (it always works for us) but also for societal progress.

Thanks to widely celebrated, peer-reviewed research in neuroscience, we also know that making is key to brain health — and who doesn’t want more of that?

Kelly and Claire will be traveling around this spring doing 2-part tour stops in school districts and bookstores across the country. We’ll share Marianne with young readers during the day and then, in the evening, lay out the case for making as essential to health and progress with parents.

We’d love to come see you. Reach out below.
