“A gorgeous story that…every girl can see herself in…will inspire young readers in your life to dream big.” —Chelsea Clinton, advocate and author of the She Persisted series
When a young girl invents something to help her with snow shoveling, she piques the interest of her neighbors and gets inspired to start her own business in this go-getter picture book.
There’s nothing Leena Mo dreads more than shoveling snow. Her time would be much better spent dreaming up new ideas and inventions. What if she invented something to take the chore off her plate? After tinkering and testing, Leena creates the robot Helmy, whose shoveling prowess sweeps her neighbors off their feet.
As demand for the robot helper grows, Leena fills orders, accepts investments, and hires more help—before she knows it, her snow day idea has turned into a booming business! What’s next for Leena Mo, CEO?

"Leena Mo, CEO, is a beautifully illustrated book about a young girl who, faced with a chore she didn't enjoy, decided to use her mind to solve it. I'll avoid spoilers, but I love the message around creativity and hard work. I have two boys, ages 3 and 5, and they deeply enjoy the illustrations and story. It's on our heavy rotation, and I hope it stays there as it is also the rare children's book that adults will not mind (and even like!) reading over and over."

"Leena Mo, CEO is an inspiring and delightful children's book that teaches young readers about leadership, creativity, teamwork and entrepreneurship. The engaging storyline and vibrant illustrations convey how a young girl's idea led her to venturing into the unknown using strategic thinking, problem-solving, innovation and, eventually, launching of her own business.
A perfect read for inspiring confidence and innovation in children! I hope there will a sequel to Leena Mo, CEO! Highly recommend!"
