Price Sigal will join the children’s stage with her adorable Mary Goop and The Magic Words, about a young girl who unfortunately has no manners.

As such, she is lonely and lives a sad life, but does not know why. She overhears some school kids talk about the power of “magic words” on the playground, and sets out to find out what those words are. As she realizes that the “magic words” are “please” and “thank you”, she starts to implement them in her life, and suddenly, things turn around for her. She also realizes that kindness is just as important as those “magic words” too. The sweet story of Mary Goop reminds us that it is never too late to work on manners, and when we do, our lives will inevitably change for the better.

Price Sigal has been writing stories since she was a little girl. She is thrilled to publish her first book with her long time friend and local artist, Jessica Dawson. The story of Mary Goop was born in 2023 while Price was teaching a children’s manners class through the business she started with her mom and sister, Lowcountry Etiquette.
Price came up with this story to read to her students during class, and the children immediately took to lovable, imperfect and endearing Mary Goop. In addition to her manners business, Price is a practicing attorney. She lives in Charleston, SC with her husband Ryan, and three wonderful children, Copeland, Sumner and Wilson. Her children inspire her to write imaginative stories that make them laugh, smile and chase their own dreams.
