Sebastian really wants a skateboard, but he has no money. Fortunately, he learns about entrepreneurship at school and decides to put his money-making skills to the test by selling rocks. It isn't easy, but by using creativity and a bit of market research, he's sure he can make as much money as he needs.
While there are a few moments in this book that are likely to go over a kid's head if no one helps explain them, this is rather a clever tale that illustrates that wishing and hoping are only the first steps toward success.

Encouraging Read
This children’s book encourages children to branch out and keep going. I love the message it has though I would have liked another way to use as an example. It also has illustrations that are nice to look at. Overall this is a nice, positive read.

This book is a quick read. It would be perfect for introducing economics to elementary grades. It also goes great with growth mindset because the boy has to work to get his concept to work. He fails several times before his idea works.
