| what does it mean to be an entrepreneur? by rana diorio & emma d dryden * illustrated by ken min |
I am thrilled to announce
the publication this week of a picture book I’ve co-authored for children ages
4-8. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR? is a story about Rae who witnesses a doggie-ice
cream mishap and is inspired, in true entrepreneurial spirit, to create a
solution to help get dogs clean!
WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR? is
a book sure to empower young kids as it encourages imagination, courage,
problem-solving, resourcefulness, and thoughtfulness. Inspired in part by my
experiences launching and sustaining drydenbks LLC during the past
five-and-a-half years, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR? is a book I've had the pleasure of writing and conceiving with my friend and colleague, Rana DiOrio, Founder and Chief Executive Pickle of Little Pickle Press, which is illustrated masterfully by Ken Min, and which was designed and art directed by Leslie Iorillo. We're excited, honored, and proud to be able to introduce this book and the concept of entrepreneurism to a wide audience. (It seems there’s even a Girl Scouts
Entrepreneur Badge, so the timing of this is ideal! Who knew?)
The book is being
published by Little Pickle Press, an impressive green-conscious small
independent press. You can read all about the book here: http://www.littlepicklepress.com/product/what-does-it-mean-to-be-an-entrepreneur/ and the book is available wherever books are sold,
including through Amazon, B&N.com, or
at your independent bookseller. I hope people will consider posting reviews online. I hope people will consider purchasing a copy for a teacher or librarian who can share it with
kids to get young people thinking about what they can do to start changing the world!
Let's all share in the entrepreneurial spirit! If we support entrepreneurs, our world will be even more diverse, interesting, and creative!
