From bestselling author Kelly Corrigan and her daughter debut author Claire Corrigan Lichty comes a new picture book about a determined young inventor!

Marianne's days are filled with schedules, structure, and soccer. There's just one problem: Marianne is a maker. She needs every minute of her weekends to scheme and dream, draw and design, to build and rebuild! This is the story of how a creator with a crackerjack imagination finds a not-so-great way to skip practice and create her masterpiece. But will her dad understand?

Told in delightful rhyme that bounces across George Sweetland's gorgeous collage-style illustrations (chock full of hidden gems,) Marianne the Maker is sure to kindle the creative spark that lives inside all of us.

Product description

About the Author

Kelly Corrigan has been called “the voice of her generation” by O: The Oprah Magazine and “the poet laureate of the ordinary” by HuffPost. She is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Tell Me More, The Middle Place, Lift, and Glitter and Glue. Between books, she hosts a podcast, Kelly Corrigan Wonders, featuring intimate conversations with high IQ/EQ types about well-being, purpose, and impact. Marianne the Maker, a collaboration with Kelly's daughter, Claire, is her second book for children. (Kelly managed to write Hello World! all by herself.)

Claire Corrigan Lichty is a graduate of the University of Virginia with a double major in computer science and drama. She writes code, stories, and jokes for stand-up, which she has performed in small clubs in Bozeman, Montana and downtown Manhattan. She's been a glue gun kid since she developed fine motor skills and hopes to be a maker indefinitely.

George Sweetland is a freelance illustrator and has illustrated over ten children’s picture books. When he isn’t illustrating or teaching elementary school students, he's having dance parties and watching movies with his wife, two sons, and their energetic golden doodle in their home in Connecticut. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

    Marianne the Maker is a story about a girl who doesn’t quite fit in on the soccer field but she shines when she’s inventing. I loved how Marianne’s curiosity and creativity took center stage. She turns everyday objects into extraordinary creations, showing kids that thinking outside the box can lead to amazing things.

    The book's rhyming text makes it fun to read aloud, and the illustrations are beautiful and has a lot of details. What really stuck with me was the support from Marianne’s dad! Instead of pushing her to be like everyone else, he embraces her passion. It's a beautiful reminder that every child has their own unique talents, and they deserve to follow what lights them up.

    My favorite - Marianne has a dog and his name is so cool 😁.. You'll have to read the book to find out !!
