Kelly reads the book with
her pal Rainn Wilson

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!

Are you a maker at heart? 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)

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?
