Can Do Kid, Inc. History

We've had a great time creating Can Do Kid, Inc! Here are a few highlights:

November, 2004

First Can Do Kid product, the children's book "I Can Do Anything!"

Our first product was, as the Mill Valley Herald declared, the "Dawning of the Can Do Age"

Now in its 2nd printing, our book has been a hit in classrooms across the country.

Soon After...

Soon after, we launched other Can Do Kid products, all with the same theme that there are no more empowering words than I CAN DO ANYTHING!

April, 2005

In April, 2005, we officially launched our book &I Can Do Anything!& with a Mill Valley California, fundraiser (we called it a FUN raiser) for the tsunami victims. We received a mayoral proclamation declaring that day "Can Do Kid Day"!

August, 2005

After months of focus groups, dozens of tastings, organic certification and package creation with the help of hundreds of kids, we manufactured our first child nutrition bars on August 11, 2005.

We were so happy!

Later that very day...

Later that very day, our first retail customer, Paradise Foods in Corte Madera, CA, put up the first Can Do Kid display, including books and child nutrition bars!
