Author Description

The ABCs of Money and Nature is a small picture book with a big purpose: helping kids (and adults!) understand how economic choices and the world around us can be deeply connected. This A-to-Z guide introduces one clear concept per letter that sits at the intersection of the economy and the environment in our rapidly changing world. Instead of treating nature and money as unrelated topics, this book shows how investment, growth, balance, adaptation, resources, and more can shape both human prosperity and the planet we live on. Each entry breaks down a real-world idea that kids can grasp and adults can return to. It is a practical reference designed to explain how money, development, sustainability, and nature can interact without jargon or unnecessary complexity. What this book does well: Explains economic and environmental ideas in short, focused entries Connects global challenges to everyday decisions and systems Shows how financial choices affect natural outcomes, and vice versa Works as both a quick reference and a structured learning tool Makes complex ideas accessible without oversimplifying them What you'll find inside: 26 clearly written entries, one for each letter of the alphabet Concepts spanning economics, the environment, technology, and society Plain explanations that support discussion, projects, and further learning Who it's for: Students building an early foundation in economics, sustainability, and systems thinking Educators looking for a clear, neutral teaching aid Parents who want to introduce big ideas without heavy terminology Readers who prefer clarity over buzzwords If you want a straightforward introduction to how money and nature can shape the world together to benefit everyone, The ABCs of Money and Nature delivers a clear starting point you can revisit a
