A lemonade stand in winter? Yes, that's exactly what Pauline and John-John intend to have, selling lemonade and limeade--and also lemon-limeade. With a catchy refrain (Lemon lemon LIME, Lemon LIMEADE! Lemon lemon LIME, Lemon LEMONADE!), plus simple math concepts throughout, here is a read-aloud that's great for storytime and classroom use, and is sure to be a hit among the legions of Jenkins and Karas fans. "A beautifully restrained tribute to trust and tenderness shared by siblings; an entrepreneurship how-to that celebrates the thrill of the marketplace without shying away from its cold realities; and a parable about persistence." —Publishers Weekly, Starred

We've all heard the adage: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. But no one ever says how. Finally, with the inspiration of Plato and the help other great philosophers, Tom Morris has figured it out and here gives us a recipe we all can use. Along the way, he shows us how to move with wisdom from difficulty to delight in everything we do.
Let's face it: Insurance is one of the most hated industries in history. The Urban Dictionary defines insurance as "a business that involves selling people promises to pay later that are never fulfilled." Insurance is the only modern business model with an inherent conflict between the provider of a service and its customer. Simply put, the more insurers deny or delay paying claims, the more money they make. And when customers complain, carriers accuse them of committing "insurance fraud." This book is first an origin story of Lemonade Insurance, a startup insurance company with a silly name that was created by two Israeli entrepreneurs who knew nothing about insurance but in less than 18 months completely disrupted a trillion-dollar industry and soon became known as the "Uber of Insurance." It is also the story of a personal journey by a former top executive at AIG and Zurich Insurance who decided to abandon the success of "Corporate America" to help form a startup that changed everything he was used to, and as a result, found himself changed. "Ty is a great storyteller, and as a founding member of Lemonade he is in a wonderful position to tell the creation story of Lemonade in his unique way. Definitely worth reading!" Daniel Schreiber, Co-Founder, CEO, Lemonade "Filled with conflicts of interest and mistrust, we often look at insurance as a necessary evil instead of the useful financial tool it can be. Ty, together with Lemonade, is trying to fix this problem, and this is a wonderfully told story of the first chapter of that important adventure." Dan Ariely, Professor, Duke University, Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics and Author, The Honest Truth about Dishonesty
*SILVER WINNER for the 2022 Taste Canada Award for Single-Subject Cookbooks* *SHORTLISTED for the 2021 Gourmand World Cookbook Award* A sustainable lifestyle starts in the kitchen with these use-what-you-have, spend-less-money recipes and tips, from the friendly voice behind @ZeroWasteChef. In her decade of living with as little plastic, food waste, and stuff as possible, Anne-Marie Bonneau, who blogs under the moniker Zero-Waste Chef, has preached that "zero-waste" is above all an intention, not a hard-and-fast rule. Because, sure, one person eliminating all their waste is great, but thousands of people doing 20 percent better will have a much bigger impact. And you likely already have all the tools you need to begin. In her debut book, Bonneau gives readers the facts to motivate them to do better, the simple (and usually free) fixes to ease them into wasting less, and finally, the recipes and strategies to turn them into self-reliant, money-saving cooks and makers. Rescue a hunk of bread from being sent to the landfill by making Mexican Hot Chocolate Bread Pudding, or revive some sad greens to make a pesto. Save 10 dollars (and the plastic tub) at the supermarket with Yes Whey, You Can Make Ricotta Cheese, then use the cheese in a galette and the leftover whey to make sourdough tortillas. With 75 vegan and vegetarian recipes for cooking with scraps, creating fermented staples, and using up all your groceries before they go bad--including end-of-recipe notes on what to do with your ingredients next--Bonneau lays out an attainable vision for a zero-waste kitchen.
