Synopsis

As a mother of two, author Nancy Phillips is keenly aware of the importance of teaching children financial skills early on before bad habits can occur. With this in mind, she created the Zela Wela Kids™ book series, for parents to teach their children these essential life skills. Each book in the series contains memorable, hand-drawn illustrations and age-appropriate, real-life situations that make it easy for children to understand the basics of financial literacy and key decision-making skills as they grow and mature. In Learn about Becoming Entrepreneurs, Jack, Emma, and their friends Carlos and Maria open a lemonade stand and learn important life lessons like: * the meaning of “entrepreneur” * the importance of creating new ideas * how to grow your money * the value of working as a team * the joy of giving * the pride that comes with setting and achieving a goal

The birth of her first child in 2002 dramatically changed Nancy’s life and some of her primary goals. After becoming a mother, she had a new focus—teaching her children the skills they would need to thrive in our rapidly changing world. Nancy’s mission is to help create a financially literate society by providing children and young adults with valuable and enjoyable resources that encourage a basic understanding of personal finance and the process of goal achievement. She hopes that by talking about these important subjects, parents and children alike will be inspired to develop responsible financial habits that will increase their quality of life and enable them to achieve their true potential.
