…Hang out with MacKenzie, who sees things a differently

MacKenzie—I love this name. I think if I had been able to choose my own name, this is the name I would have chosen. It has a bit of toughness—Mac—for the tomboy I was. It has some lightheartedness—Kenzie—for the woman I would become. And for those moms and

dads who could never come up with the correct name to call their children when they were irritated with them, it has its own combination—MacKenzie.

MacKenzie often sees life a bit differently. The first book in the MacKenzie series, takes a look at how she views hugs. She shows you that it is okay to think and see things a bit differently. It makes you unique. It helps you to find your area of brilliance…where you shine.

Dexter Street Books

I grew up on Dexter Street and lived there until I went to college. Dexter Street is where I learned some of my first life lessons. Friends I knew there, at that time, are still my friends today. Their support is my foundation.

Dexter Street was where, as kids, our imaginations grew. We played together, learned together, and grew together. Most important, we laughed together. I hope that my Dexter Street Books bring some of the same joy and learning experiences that my friends and I shared growing up to the children who read them today.
