About The Adventures of Quinn and Manny: I’m Not Bossy

Quinn has big ideas, a pink clipboard, and a plan for the best lemonade stand ever. But can she learn that being a leader also means listening? In The Adventures of Quinn and Manny: I’m Not Bossy, Quinn is excited to build a lemonade stand with her best friends, Weslynn and Lottie, and her loyal dog, Manny.

She knows exactly how everything should look, who should do each job, and what color the sign should be. But when Quinn keeps saying “no” to everyone else’s ideas, the fun starts to fade. Lottie stops smiling, Weslynn’s shoulders droop, and even Manny’s tail stops wagging.

Quinn soon realizes that having a good plan is not the same as being a good friend. With a deep breath, a kind heart, and a new willingness to listen, Quinn discovers that the best adventures happen when everyone gets a turn to shine. This sweet and meaningful children’s picture book is perfect for young readers learning about friendship, teamwork, leadership, listening, sharing ideas, and understanding the difference between being confident and being bossy.
