What They Say About Our Products

Make A Way Media means so many things to so many people. My kids love the messages in the books written by Deedee Cummings and they also love the K Club free monthly guides and the online meetings. I know when they receive something from Make A Way that it will leave them feeling not only brave and empowered, but also hopeful.

Meet The Therapist With a Dream 

Back in 2014, lawyer and therapist Deedee Cummings was struggling to find books featuring kids that looked like hers and had similar lived experiences. 

As she worked with therapy clients, she realized that kids and parents alike were struggling to talk about hard topics and figure out how to navigate the tough situations. 

She blended her passion for diverse books with her therapeutic knowledge to create Make A Way Media’s hope-filled books that model the skills kids need to thrive. 

More than a decade later, she has written numerous best-selling children’s books that model hope, empathy, a growth mindset and the social-emotional skills we all need to thrive. She is committed to helping families overcome obstacles and live the fulfilling lives they deserve. By becoming our best selves, we help make the world the best it can be.
