Cooler Than Lemonade: A Story about Great Ideas and How They Happen

By Harshita Jerath

Book Overview

A vibrant, STEM-powered picture book that inspires creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurship in kids ages 4-8.

Eva is bursting with excitement to launch her lemonade stand. But when the boy across the street steals her thunder with freebies and clever tricks, she begins to doubt her ideas. Just as frustration sets in, a spark of inspiration--and a batch of homemade kulfi--helps Eva rediscover her confidence and creativity.

Cooler Than Lemonade delivers more than a feel-good summer story. It empowers young readers to problem-solve, adapt, and stay true to themselves when faced with setbacks. With a dynamic blend of entrepreneurial spirit, cultural pride, and growth mindset themes, this engaging story resonates with children, parents, and educators alike.

Praised by Kirkus Reviews as "an immersive read-aloud," and embraced by teachers for its message of problem-solving, oriented thinking, and perseverance, this book is a natural fit for summer reading lists, innovation units, and STEM classrooms.

Includes a kid-friendly kulfi recipe to continue the fun beyond the final page.
