Hi there! Thanks for reading.

Our hero Max is great at making entertaining inventions. However, he’s lonely: Max can invent almost anything, but he cannot create a friend. Max knows a young girl named Pepper who is equally good at inventing. Max doesn’t trust her, though. He doesn’t want any competition for being the best inventor in the neighborhood. Despite this initial resistance, Max grows to appreciate Pepper’s talents, and the two children become friends.

This story began as a collaboration with my dad and it’s been in the works for a few years now. It’s exciting to see this out in the world! We envision this as a picture book that will touch anyone with a creative mind who may have struggled to make friends.
