Book Review Request: Ava and Mae Own a Lemonade Stand

[Guest Brittney D.]

Hi there, 

 

I am the author of an upcoming children’s book called Ava and Mae Own a Lemonade Stand. This book is created by Black women and centers on two Black sister protagonists that open a lemonade stand. In addition to teaching entrepreneurial language and promoting perseverance, this book increases diversity in children’s literature. 

 

There are very few examples in children’s literature of Black girls owning and running their own business. It is important for racial and economic justice that Black children have pop culture examples of people who look like them in strong entrepreneurial roles. The primary target age for this book is 6-9 years old, or 1st-3rd grade.

 

You can learn more about the book and our overall mission at our website, http://avaandmae.com. This book will be available for preorder by June 15th.

 

I am interested in a book review!
