“A gorgeous story that…every girl can see herself in…will inspire young readers in your life to dream big.” —Chelsea Clinton, advocate and author of the She Persisted series

When a young girl invents something to help her with snow shoveling, she piques the interest of her neighbors and gets inspired to start her own business in this go-getter picture book.

There’s nothing Leena Mo dreads more than shoveling snow. Her time would be much better spent dreaming up new ideas and inventions. What if she invented something to take the chore off her plate? After tinkering and testing, Leena creates the robot Helmy, whose shoveling prowess sweeps her neighbors off their feet.

As demand for the robot helper grows, Leena fills orders, accepts investments, and hires more help—before she knows it, her snow day idea has turned into a booming business! What’s next for Leena Mo, CEO?

Deena Shakir’s beautiful and accessible story will inspire young readers in your life to dream big, find solutions, and lead with conviction.”
—Chelsea Clinton, advocate and author of the She Persisted children’s book series

“You can’t be what you can’t see, and all too often children of color don't see themselves in the books they read. Deena Shakir decided to change that. In

This story is a powerful way to talk to girls, boys, parents, and teachers about women’s incredible leadership, vision, and impact. It is an inspiring must-read for the next generation of innovators!”

    I loved Leena Mo, CEO! It’s such an inspiring, down-to-earth book for anyone interested in the startup world. The story follows Leena, a kid trying to build up her own business and help the people around her. Deena Shakir does a great job highlighting the ups and downs of being a founder, and integrating nuances from other cultures and experiences.

    A kid's book about a kid entrepreneur- written by a real startup founder and investor- this story gets all the key parts right! Because my kids are tweens who "don't read story books anymore," we chatted along the way about innovation, Angel investing, scaling, founding team skillsets, the importance of intellectual property rights ... stuff like that. The book is for little kids but, like the best kid movies, it has neat little references for the adults. My kids and I are charmed and hope this becomes a series! Deena can you write "Leena Mo's NoMoSnowCo goes IPO" next!? Love this so much.

The book follows Leena, a bright and ambitious girl who rises to become a successful CEO, breaking barriers in a world where women are often confined to traditional roles.

    What makes this book remarkable is its portrayal of Leena’s resilience as she navigates the challenges of balancing her personal identity and cultural heritage while striving for success in a male-dominated industry. The story vividly captures the rich traditions of Middle Eastern culture, but also highlights the growing opportunities for women who dare to dream big and work hard to achieve their goals.

    Leena’s journey is filled with relatable struggles and triumphs, making it a powerful message for young girls everywhere that their dreams are valid, no matter the cultural or societal obstacles they may face. Her character serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment for anyone seeking inspiration to push beyond limits and take control of their own destiny.

    Leena Mo, CEO is more than just a story about business success; it’s about challenging stereotypes, believing in oneself, and embracing one’s heritage while pursuing personal and professional growth. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in stories of female empowerment and for those who appreciate an authentic portrayal of Middle Eastern culture woven into a modern narrative of ambition and perseverance.
