The people behind the stand.
Janna Dutton — author
Janna Dutton is a Canadian entrepreneur, author, and mindset coach based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with deep experience owning and operating franchise businesses across the province.
She wrote Ice Pop Shop to give kids what most of us learn too late — that business skills are life skills, and that who you are and how you work should be one and the same. That belief grew into the Buy One, Give One mission: reach one million Canadian kids with the idea that entrepreneurship belongs to them.
She lives in Saskatchewan, where the ice pop season is short but enthusiastic.
Kevin Quinlan — illustrator
Kevin Quinlan's hand-painted watercolours are the look of Ice Pop Shop — from the red-and-white umbrella on the cover to the ice pops (and one very good dog) inside. No stock art, no clip art: every image in the book is painted.
His warm, hand-made style is a big part of why the book feels like summer — and it's the visual identity of everything Ice Pop Shop does, including this site.
