Description
Sheila Bair, former FDIC chair, knows we need to step up our game in instilling economic concepts and financial literacy skills in our children. With this goal in mind, she recently expanded her popular Money Tales Series to include “Daisy Bubble: A Price Crash on Galapagos” and “Princess Persephone and the Money Wizards: Inflation Comes to Ganymede.” This webinar will present these humorous picture books, provide background on the history of price bubbles and inflation, and review classroom-ready lessons and activities.
