Recently, this fact has been reinforced with the publication of a seven-book series by local entrepreneur, philanthropist and author, BK Fulton. The series, Mr. Business: The Adventures of Little BK, is based on Fulton’s own childhood experiences and is designed to appeal to children ages 4-14. We recently had a chance to explore the series and see how Fulton has used his own life experiences growing up in Hampton, Virginia, to create a series that truly embodies his belief that “readers become leaders.”
In this seven-book series, Fulton explores the notion that children should be themselves, no matter what. “Little BK is an inquisitive third-grader who encounters issues that are everyday happenings for many children, especially when they are young,” said BK Fulton, who is also the founding CEO of Soulidifly Productions, a company with a mission to produce meaningful, uplifting stories that are entertaining and beautifully told.
“Little BK’s experiences show that it’s okay to be in your own skin, and it’s okay to choose your own style. His stories will encourage children to be true to who they really are.”
Through a combination of wisdom and humor, Little BK, a.k.a., Mr. Business, shows how children can turn negatives into positives and channel their dreams into personal and professional success.
“Mr. Business will appeal to countless children who work smart and try their best every day at home and at school,” says Fulton. “It also speaks to the caring adults who guide young people to be excellent. I believe that every day is a gift, and what we do with that gift is our gift back to each other.”
