This book was inspired by a curious boy's endless questions about the world, how the economy works, and my passion for making complex ideas accessible and enjoyable for children. 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.
