Cooper’s Kites Take Flight!
In Cooper’s Curious and Crafted Kite Company, nine-year-old Cooper meets an entrepreneur during career day. Then he gets an idea—he wants to start a company! With the help of his friends and family, Cooper’s business is born. Along the way, he learns about entrepreneurship and innovation.
Cooper’s Curious and Crafted Kite Company was written by Ross Shell, Founder and CEO of Red Idea Partners, an innovation consulting and venture investing firm based in Boulder, Colorado. Read more about the author here. Find out about Red Idea Partners here.
Since Shell often speaks on—and is surrounded by—innovation and entrepreneurship, it was only a matter of time before he added a new venture of his own—a picture book.
Cooper’s Curious and Crafted Kite Company makes the complexities of entrepreneurship accessible for children. It encourages them to explore their ideas, pursue their passions, and work through their challenges. Shell created a twenty-four page, illustrated reminder that there’s no age requirement on dreaming big.
Praise for Cooper’s Curious and Crafted Kite Company
Here’s what Andrew Yang, Founder and CEO of Venture for America and author of the book’s forward, had to say about Cooper’s Curious and Crafted Kite Company:
“Childhood is the perfect time to tinker, to experiment, and to occasionally even stumble along the way. If we can get our little guys and gal to undertake a thousand tiny steps on an uncertain path toward a goal, then there will be no limits to what they can do. And, like Cooper’s kites, they will fly high and make us proud.”
We hope you enjoy reading about Cooper and his entrepreneurial adventure. Dream big. Follow your inspiration. Change the world.
May your idea take flight!
