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 she 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 that she is free to start working on her latest invention. 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 delightful bouncing rhyme and with gorgeous collage-style illustrations and hidden details throughout from George Sweetland, Marianne the Maker is sure to speak to the creative inventor that lives inside all of us.
