Little Lilli loves spending time with her friends and family at her grandparents’ farm. One fine summer day, Lilli embarks on a quest to make some money. The problem is, Lilli isn’t sure how to do it. With the help of her loving grandparents, big brother, and friends and neighbors from all over town, Lilli begins the first business attempt of her very own as Lemonade Lilli!

Lemonade Lilli by Joan Enockson is a charming tale about friendship, family, and building a small business. Featuring sound business and marketing advice that even older readers can greatly benefit from, Lemonade Lilli shows the process of bringing a dream into focus as a realistic and attainable goal. Terminology such as ‘bottom line’ and ‘profit’ are well explained for a young audience, without any form of condescension whatsoever.

Following the adventure of Lilli and her support group, readers new and experienced can see both the effort and the reward involved in bringing a business to life. I loved Lilli’s interactions with her family, her dear grandfather bringing a nostalgic tear to my eye as he reminded me of my own. The balance of hard work and altruistic assistance, as well as advice on how to properly manage money, are important lessons for readers of all ages that Lemonade Lilli gently shares.

This is a lovely story of a girl, a dream, and the friends willing to help her realize it. Endearing illustrations, memorable characters, and delightful storytelling make this heartfelt entrepreneurial tale a true treasure for any library. Perfectly suitable for ages seven and up, Lemonade Lilli is certain to warm your heart and enrich your mind as dreams blossom into reality on a beautiful summer’s day on the farm.
