Meet The Snak Pak
Have you ever heard of a crew so sweet, they’re named after snacks? That’s The Snak Pak! Each of my twelve grandchildren inspired a character, and their nicknames came from cravings I had before they were born. Every name holds a memory. Every child has a flavor all their own.
There’s Hun Bun, the cheerful firstborn. Twynk, tall and smart. Cheeze Puff, polite and playful. Alma Joy, our glamorous diva. Kiki Kat, the curious learner. Snick Snack, the football-loving foodie. Kandy, our little daddy’s girl. Chipp, the dinosaur expert. Mr. Goode Bar, Grandma’s cowboy, Poppy Korn, the sassy toddler, Soozie Que, our sweet teen role model.
And last but not least — Kookie. She’s the baby of the bunch, dearly loved by her mommy and Alma Joy. Born after a journey of hope, Kookie is proof that miracles are real.
Stay tuned to meet each character in their own story, rhyme, and adventure. This isn’t just another book or download — it’s a legacy.

A Little Note From Me:
You may occasionally find a book on Amazon before it makes its way into our website shop. I’m still one person wearing all the hats—author, publisher, website updater, inventory manager, event planner, and everything in between! I’m working to get everything where it belongs, one book and one step at a time.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and for growing with The Snak Pak Legacies. There’s so much more to come!
Why I Keep Creating
The Snak Pak Legacies began with something deeply personal—the desire to leave something meaningful behind.
I create for my children and grandchildren, but the legacy doesn’t stop with my family. I create for the child who discovers something in one of my books that they were never taught before. For the adult who reads a few words and realizes they aren’t alone. For the parent, grandparent, or teacher searching for something with a little more meaning behind it.
Some days I’m writing a children’s book. Other days, I’m writing about healing, history, life lessons, or simply offering a few words of encouragement.
It may look like many different things, but the purpose is the same:
Teach something. Leave something. Help someone.
That’s why I keep creating.

Why I Chose the Name Ma-Ti
When you see my books, you’ll often notice the name Ma-Ti. Some people ask where it comes from, and until now, that answer wasn’t easy to find online. Today, I want to share the story.
Over 13 years ago, when my daughter was carrying my first grandchild, Hun-Bun, I wanted a unique name for my grandchildren to call me. Something different from grandma, nana, or granny — something that felt like me.
So I created Ma-Ti.
- “Ma” is short for mama.
- “Ti” comes from my lifelong nickname, Tina.
It stuck with some of my grandkids (though not all 😉), and it became a special little piece of my identity as a grandmother. Over time, that name grew with me, carrying meaning, love, and legacy.
When I began writing books — for my grandchildren, for children everywhere, and for anyone walking a healing journey — Ma-Ti was the only name that truly fit. It represents family, love, and the bond that started this entire journey.
So now, when you see Ma-Ti on my books, know that it started as a grandmother’s nickname — and became the heart of my author name.
💛 With love,
Melissa A. Frazier (Ma-Ti)
Thank You for Supporting The Snak Pak Legacies
One of the first major milestones for The Snak Pak Legacies was participating in the 2026 Our Giving Tree Holla! 5K & Afternoon Literary Escape in Morven, North Carolina.
The event gave me the opportunity to meet families, connect with members of the community, and share the books and learning resources I’ve worked so hard to create.
Seeing children smile as they flipped through the pages, hearing parents talk about the importance of educational books that are fun and relatable, and receiving so much encouragement reminded me why I started this journey. I arrived with twelve children’s books and returned home with only three remaining. I also sold older inventory, introduced new readers to The Snak Pak Legacies, and left inspired to continue building this dream.
The experience reinforced several important lessons:
- Families are looking for educational and meaningful books.
- Parents appreciate interactive learning resources.
- An easy-to-navigate website makes a difference.
- You can never bring too many business cards to a community event!
Every event teaches me something new, and each one helps shape the future of The Snak Pak Legacies.
To everyone who stopped by my table, shared encouraging words, purchased a book, or supported my work—thank you. Your kindness and encouragement continue to inspire me.
💜💛
