Rosie Means Business

Rosie MacAllister has a plan. It involves lemons, a chalkboard menu, and what she is fairly certain will be the most successful lemonade stand in the history of Millbrook's Summer Fair.

It does not involve math. This is the problem.

When her best friend Ben shows up with a clipboard and eleven concerns, Rosie is not worried. She has enthusiasm. She has creativity. She has a Rosie Special that a four-year-old with pigtails absolutely cannot resist.

What she does not have - yet - is any idea what the words revenue, profit, or break-even point actually mean.

Rosie Means Business is a funny, warm, and completely irresistible introduction to financial literacy for young readers ages 7-10. Through Rosie's very relatable mistakes, children discover the real meaning of revenue, profit, expenses, and break-even - not through a worksheet, but through a story they won't want to put down.

Perfect for:

• Young readers ages 7-10
• Classroom read-alouds and homeschool curricula
• Parents who want to introduce money concepts early
• Kids who love funny, character-driven stories

Includes: Discussion questions and three hands-on activities.

Because the exciting part is the idea. The math is what turns it into a business.
