Gus and the Hot Chocolate Startup

By Gina Crossey

With a penchant for risk and a knack for invention, Gus has always seen the world a bit differently. He reverse engineers the vacuum cleaner and launches living room startups before the age of five. And his recyclables-turned-candy-dispensing robot is a hit with his little sister.One day, a particularly risky idea sticks in his head - a wintertime hot chocolate stand. With some encouragement from Dad, Gus invests his savings and launches his business, but his classmates think he's crazy, and snowstorms and numb toes test his resolve. Will Gus's fledgling venture flop, or can he turn mistakes into opportunities and prove himself a true entrepreneur?This engaging and educational picture book introduces young readers to the exciting world of startups and entrepreneurs. Integrating business terms of art, it follows the challenging path of entrepreneurship and celebrates the value of investing in oneself despite the risk.
