Leo the Entrepreneurial Hippo

About the Book

In this charming coloring book, children will learn that it is good to have ideas and to be creative. The book is designed to encourage children to colour the pictures with their favorite colouring pencils.

The illustrations were done by Simone Goyes, a 12-year-old girl who is currently a student at D. Roy Kennedy public school in Ottawa, Ontario. The main character in the book is Leo the Hippo, who overcomes his friends taunting about his crazy ideas and invents a "portable tree".
