The Bridge of the Golden Wood: A Parable on How to Earn a Living

(Careers, financial literacy) "Masterful.... An immensely appealing book because of its readable style...and its realistic but soft Asian-style illustrations." - Crystie Cook, poet. Selected by the State of Vermont for primary school career/economics curriculum. "What are you looking at?" asked the boy. "Trouble and treasure," said the old woman. A child with a knack for solving problems helps some hungry fish and finds a treasure.

Teach someone to fish. This illustrated folk tale on the value of work bridges the gap between what kids learn in school about jobs, small business, and finance--and what they should know (how to serve others). This children's business picture book teaches how to spot opportunities to help others and make money; comes with ideas for businesses, job ideas, money-making activities and online resources on career choices, managing money, finding customers, and moving up in an organization. Young children will be captivated by the story; older ones will want to apply the things they learn (for kids ages 4 and up/ESL, preschool - 12th grade).
