These 10-Year-Olds Bought a Business

We have exciting news to share—our CEO, Nunzio Presta, has just released his very first book! But here's the twist—it's not a business guide or a how-to on leadership; it’s actually a children’s book!

Nunzio is passionate about entrepreneurship and believes that fostering an entrepreneurial mindset from a young age can have a powerful impact on a child's future. His new book, The Kids Who Bought a Lemonade Stand, was written to inspire the next generation of young entrepreneurs by showing them that success can start with something as simple as buying and growing an existing business.

In the book, we follow the adventures of two young dreamers, Tim and Lily. These two imaginative kids love to dream big and help others. One day, they stumble upon a lemonade stand for sale in their neighbourhood. Most kids might think about starting their own stand from scratch, but not Tim and Lily! Instead, they see an opportunity in front of them and decide to buy the business rather than building it from the ground up. With hard work, creativity, and a little help from their community, Tim and Lily turn the humble lemonade stand into a thriving success.

The Kids Who Bought a Lemonade Stand introduces children to the idea that entrepreneurship isn’t just about creating something brand new—it’s also about recognizing potential in things that already exist. Tim and Lily’s story teaches young readers that sometimes the best business opportunities come from taking something with a solid foundation and improving upon it. Whether it's a lemonade stand or any other type of small business, the lessons are clear: with the right attitude and effort, you can take any venture and make it even better.

This story is not only about entrepreneurship but also about the importance of community. As Tim and Lily work hard to improve their lemonade stand, they realize they need help along the way. Their journey highlights how a strong support system of family, friends, and neighbours can make all the difference in the success of any venture.

Nunzio hopes this book will inspire young readers to think creatively and feel empowered to chase their dreams—whether that means starting something new or improving upon what’s already there. By showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit in a fun, relatable way, this book aims to plant the seeds of innovation, curiosity, and community-building in children from a young age.

The entrepreneurial journey doesn’t have to begin with a groundbreaking invention; it can start with a simple lemonade stand. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from seeing the potential in what’s already around us and taking the leap to make it even better.

The Kids Who Bought a Lemonade Stand is now available on Amazon, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this inspiring story with families everywhere. If you’re looking for a book that encourages young minds to dream big, think creatively, and embrace the entrepreneurial spirit, this is the perfect read.
