As a mother, economist, author and educator, I’ve always believed that learning should be an adventure filled with fun, curiosity, and discovery. Economics is often seen as a topic for adults, but the truth is that kids encounter economic principles every day. Whether it’s through sharing toys, saving allowance, or deciding how to spend their birthday money. However, research shows that Australian and other OECD countries’ children's financial literacy and economics among children remain insufficient, and there has been no significant progress since 2012 (Contreras \u0026amp; Bendix, 2021).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis project is not only filled with love and fun, but also with HOPE. My hope is to prepare future generations with essential life skills that are crucial for any profession. This will help them become better citizens, responsible leaders, innovative thinkers, and future entrepreneurs who will shape a brighter future in a rapidly changing and uncertain world. This fills a gap in the market where there is a shortage of engaging and fun economics books for children, while the demand for teaching economics and financial literacy at a young age continues to grow in an increasingly uncertain world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book is designed to introduce basic economic principles through engaging and entertaining stories from Fables and Fairy Tales that children can relate to and enjoy. Each story is carefully crafted to not only teach but also inspire young minds to think critically about the world around them. These stories are hand-picked by request of a 10-year-old boy and crafted in the Australian Capital city, so they also feature some landmarks of the town where the stories began.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThank you for joining us on this exciting and unique educational journey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI wish you and your children find these lessons both informative, memorable and fun!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarm regards,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelen Hoang, PhD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHELEN HOANG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 October 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e168 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1917553714\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-1917553711\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem weight ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e313 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15.24 x 1.02 x 22.86 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dr. Helen Hoang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43627946180667,"sku":null,"price":50.64,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43627946213435,"sku":null,"price":58.83,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/1448\/1467\/files\/71zvR11--aL._SL1499_38131e43-9995-46b4-a162-1efcc96acdd0.jpg?v=1781271174"}],"url":"https:\/\/madeinaustralia.com.au\/collections\/books-media.oembed","provider":"Made In Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
