    What parents are saying

    “Maya's Big Business Adventure is such a refreshing children's book. My daughter loved following Maya's journey and was so excited to see a character who looks like her dreaming up big ideas. The story is engaging, colourful, and easy to follow, but what makes it extra special is the way it made my daughter more curious and sparked some brilliant conversations about her ideas.”
    Shereen CampbellReview of Maya's Big Business Adventure
    “The workbook is really well thought through. Each page has accessible ideas, levelling up or continuing the development of your idea as you go. My daughter is 10 and has naturally gone back to it across the weeks as she's thought of something new to add to her idea. It has captured her imagination and creativity - I asked her and she said "it's amazing! I love it!"”

    Why I created these books

    Through my work supporting entrepreneurs, I’ve seen how much ideas need encouragement and opportunity to grow. I created We Can Be to help girls discover women building businesses and give them space to explore their own possibilities.
