When Jessie discovers how much she loves helping Mum and Dad around their cosy cottage - repairing water leaks, tightening taps and handing out tools — she begins to realise that plumbing is more than fixing things. It is a skill, a service, and maybe even the start of something bigger.
With gentle guidance and plenty of hands-on adventure, Jessie takes her first real steps into building a small business of her own. From spotting leaks and solving problems to helping neighbours and earning her own money, Jessie learns how effort, kindness and curiosity can open doors.
Throughout the story, children explore real-world lessons about tools, teamwork, saving money, reinvesting, helping the community and taking pride in their work. Everything is shown through warm, charming watercolour illustrations that feel comforting and timeless.
Perfect for ages 2+, this book introduces the basics of business and practical life skills in a simple, joyful and age-appropriate way.
