Featuring Kenzie May

Kenzie May was the kid who had to be told to stop reading on vacation. Now she writes the stories she needed: fun and whimsical coming-of-age novels that help teens feel less alone. Kenzie usually can be found teaching swim lessons, trying new boba shops, or pretending she is the main character in a Studio Ghibli movie.

About Her Short Story
Flowers, From Me
Daisy spends her days working at her parent’s flower shop, convinced that no one likes her after her closest friendship ended poorly. When a boy starts coming into the shop daily, and only ever buys one flower based on its meaning, she discovers he is taking them to the local nursing home. Inspired by his bravery to connect with others, Daisy begins a special project just for the nursing home.
