'Leena Mo, CEO': New children's book puts a joyful spin on entrepreneurship for kids

In the new children’s book “Leena Mo, CEO,” a young girl turns a sparkling idea into a successful neighborhood business. Leena Mo doesn’t love doing her chores, especially when it comes to shoveling snow in the winter. So she invents an adorable robot named Helmy that shovels the snow better than she ever could. But now Leena’s neighbors would like a Helmy for themselves, so she has to figure out how to go from a girl with a big imagination to CEO.

Author Deena Shakir wrote “Leena Mo, CEO,” for all the kids, especially the little girls, who dream big. She speaks with host Deepa Fernandes.
