ABOUT THE BOOK
A inspiring story about discovering ideas in unexpected places, never giving up, and finding the perfect recipe for success!
"An immersive read-aloud that will have readers impressed by Eva's perseverance and can-do spirit." —Kirkus Reviews
One scorching summer day, Eva comes up with a great idea: a lemonade stand! But when she sees that Jake across the street has his own stand, and he's giving away free cookies, Eva knows she needs another idea to keep people lining up. Eureka—new flavors!
Except Jake has ideas too—bigger and better ones, and more customers! Soon Eva is out of ideas, and, she thinks, out of business. But when she takes a moment to be creative again and makes a batch of delicious kulfi ice cream, she discovers fresh inspiration—and a new way to succeed!
The perfect book for:
- Parents, teachers, and librarians looking for growth mindset stories
- Readers looking for diverse picture books
- Kids interested in entrepreneurship
Includes an easy-to-make kulfi recipe!
