    “[A] one-stop shop for all future ­entrepreneurs…[Recommended] for all nonfiction ­collections; there are impossibly few resources available to this readership that take on this topic and cover it in such depth.” —School Library Journal

    “Readers will be inspired by the variety of cited success stories and their range of products . . . This helpful and timely offering will appeal.” —Booklist

    “This guide will walk you through step by step what it takes to create your own business—starting with your why…A valuable resource for young entrepreneurs.” —Kidsbookshelf.com

    “This book is just what every budding entrepreneur needs, child or adult. It’s filled with easy-to-digest information, inspirational stories and immediate actions to bring your dreams to life…This isn’t just a book about starting a business, this is a book about developing a mindset that will serve us well throughout life…[I]t is a kids book but…this is a book that I think anyone, anyone could benefit from. But my goodness to get it as a child, and to realize the possibilities and to have it not seem daunting, but doable with so many examples filled in the pages of how and why, it’s powerful, it’s so so powerful.” —KidLit Love podcast
