Description
Maddy Rae represents a collaborative effort between a mother and daughter, united by a shared vision to infuse enjoyment into the educational process. This dynamic duo seeks to transform the often daunting task of learning into an engaging and delightful experience for children. Their initiative is rooted in the belief that education should not only be informative but also entertaining, thereby fostering a love for learning that can last a lifetime.
RaeAnne Hadley, with over eleven years of experience as an educator, has dedicated herself to nurturing young minds. Her commitment to education extended beyond the classroom, as she actively volunteered at local libraries, aiming to connect with children in her community. Even after her own children reached adulthood, RaeAnne’s passion for teaching remained unwavering, demonstrating her deep-seated belief in the importance of literacy and learning for all children.
Madison Hadley, RaeAnne’s daughter, has long had a passion for drawing, a talent that blossomed during her challenging teenage years. At the age of sixteen, while navigating the complexities of life-altering surgeries at Children’s Hospital, Madison found solace in her artistic pursuits, utilizing her iPad and the Procreate app to create vibrant illustrations of animals and fantastical worlds. Recognizing Madison’s artistic gift, RaeAnne encouraged her to channel this creativity into a children’s book aimed at teaching cursive writing, a skill RaeAnne deems essential in today’s educational landscape. The resulting series, titled Cursive, is designed to help children recognize cursive letters and words through engaging, standalone stories featuring their favorite animals, thus immersing them in the enchanting world of cursive writing.
