From bestselling author Kelly Corrigan and her daughter debut author Claire Corrigan Lichty comes a new audiobook 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 bouncing, delightful rhyme, Marianne the Maker is sure to kindle the creative spark that lives inside all of us.
