Publisher's Synopsis
Winner of the SKBI Prize for Sustainable Finance Literacy as part of the Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards (MAIA).
Nominated for the De Rives en Pages Environmental Literature Award.
A sustainable investment expert helps young readers understand how money works-and how spending, saving, donating and investing can change the world.
Financial literacy is an important skill in life. At around the age of seven, children develop attitudes and beliefs about money that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Through a story in comic book form about finding a treasure, Your Money and the World enables young readers everywhere to tackle complex concepts, such as what a company is, how banks work, why some backpacks cost more than others, and how money has evolved throughout history. The book explores everything from whether we need to be rich to be happy, to what the price of tulips in the seventeenth century can teach us about our world.
Your Money and the World proves that everyone plays a part-by working, investing, donating, saving or spending-in achieving a fairer, more sustainable world. Saving our world requires empowering young readers to understand the importance of their economic choices-for their benefit and for the planet.
