"Whether we realize it or not, we all spend our lives selling. Even if we're not sales professionals, we're promoting ideas, developing projects and asking for help, persuading others to our ways of thinking... 100 First Words for Little CEOs is a great beginning for the littlest go-getters to start learning how to communicate and lead, and those are the primary building blocks of any professional and personal success. This book also engages the loving adults who read to the children in their lives. Cheryl put her own Kellogg MBA to work as she helped found the top international travel firm, R. Crusoe Son. Now all those lessons learned are coming full circles as she shares them with business leaders to be".

"As a 32-year-owner of The Book Stall at Chestnut Court, I know that it's important for children's books to delight both the child and its adult reader. 100 First Words for Little CEOs is a very fun book for babies and toddlers to learn the business lingo that is in everyone's future. This book is Cheryl's first and-having seen a sneak peek of other projects-it's the first of many wonderful books to come!"
