Jess never predicted that her time selling cookies and lemonade as a kid was foreshadowing founding her company Headbands of Hope, which helps millions of kids with illnesses. It wasn't always smooth sailing, but each obstacle she faced put her on an unexpected path of inspiration, helping her discover the amazing things she could become and do, like starting multiple businesses, writing a book, and helping millions of people feel more confident in their story. Now Jess shows kids how to channel their own energy and unique interests to create something meaningful. With inspiration from Jess's bestselling book Chasing the Bright Side, this jump-right-in guide created just for kids and tweens is a great gift for

• Christmas and birthdays;
• elementary- and middle-school graduations; and

Create Your Bright Ideas is a perfect size to fit in a backpack, ready to be pulled out whenever inspiration strikes--during car rides, while waiting for the bus, for reading time at school, or right before bed. A powerful and fun reminder that many CEOs and nonprofit leaders started their careers with a lemonade stand, Create Your Bright Ideas takes kids on an exciting journey of purpose, self-discovery, and bold action.
