Kayla: A Modern-Day Princess
The Kayla: A Modern-Day Princess series is based on the life of real-life Broadway star Kayla Pecchioni.

How To Dream
This powerful book and workbook dedicated to adults are your guide to dreaming in a world that actively crushes dreams.

In this transformative book, readers gain practical tools, powerful affirmations, and actionable steps they can take to put their dreams in motion and pursue the fulfilling lives we all deserve.
In The Nick Of Time

In this soon-to-be three part series, Nick learns the importance of helping others, overcoming biases and finding hope no matter what comes your way. If you want to help your kids see the magic of Christmas in a new way, this series is for you!

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.
