A neighborhood lemonade stand is a classic childhood experience. For St. George author Savannah Adams, it serves as the perfect setting to teach the next generation about business and problem-solving. Her debut book, The Biz Kids: A Sticky Situation, hits shelves on August 11, offering children aged 5 to 10 a look into the fundamentals of entrepreneurship.
Adams is a mother of two and drew inspiration from her own children. She wanted to create a resource that transforms abstract business concepts into relatable lessons. The book focuses on the importance of identifying problems and creating value for others, moving beyond the simple goal of making money. By using the familiar trope of a lemonade stand, the story provides a framework for kids to learn about customer service and how to react to shifting market conditions.
With a background in communications and marketing, Adams designed this project as a tool for parents and teachers. She spent 18 months bringing the story to life, working closely with an illustrator to ensure the message remained clear and engaging. The book represents a marriage of her professional expertise and her desire to build a foundation for young readers.
Looking ahead, Adams plans to develop The Biz Kids into a full series. She hopes to cover various aspects of business, such as managing difficult customer interactions or product-market fit. She is currently available for school visits and reading sessions to help bring these lessons directly to students in the classroom.
For those interested in supporting a local author, the book is available for preorder now on Amazon. It is a timely addition to any library focused on financial literacy and critical thinking for children. Parents and educators can also follow her updates through her social media channels as she prepares for the official release next week.
