Marianne is an inventor. So when her Dad signs her up for soccer, she's not exactly thrilled. She can't kick a ball and can think of just about a million other things she'd rather do. So when she tells a clever lie to get out of her game, she thinks she’s free to start working on her latest creation. But when her dad catches on, she has to come clean. Can Marianne prove that inventing is what she was destined to do?
Told in bouncing rhyme with gorgeous collage illustrations and hidden details throughout, Marianne the Maker is sure to speak to the creative inventor that lives inside all of us.

I mostly write true stories about family life for adults but I did want to find a way to encourage children to become the world’s best question askers, which led to Hello World!, a book for graduates of all ages and stages.
I believe that even more exciting than the places you will go are the people you will know. Hello World!, written in honor of my dad, is about embracing every interaction as an opportunity to connect and asking questions as a way of life. Order anywhere you get your books.
