Hi, I'm Kennedie Banks, and I have a big dream—I want to be a tutu! My imagination takes me to exciting places, and I love pretending to be anything I can imagine.
In my first book, "I Want to Be a Tutu," you'll meet Dee Dee, my new best friend. She’s not just any tutu—she can talk, and together we have amazing adventures!
Join us in "Adventures in Tutuland, " where we discover a magical world full of surprises.
And in "The Magical Tree and AB," we find a tree that holds secrets that only Dee Dee and I can unlock. Come along on our fun-filled journey through this special three-book series!
In "The Magical Tree and AB," young Kennedie discovers a magical tree in her backyard that leads her on a journey to the moon.
