About the Book

"Masterful...immensely appealing...readable...realistic but soft Asian-style illustrations," - Crystie Cook, poet. A child with a knack for solving problems helps some hungry fish and is rewarded. Selected by the State of Vermont for primary school career/economics curriculum.

  • Career/job ideas
  • Money management/saving tips
  • Small business inspiration
  • Asian characters
  • Dyslexic font

"What are you looking at?" asked the boy. "Trouble and treasure," said the old woman. The story captivates young children; older ones want to apply the things they learn (for ages 4 and up, preschool - 12th grade). This illustrated folk tale on the value of work bridges the gap between what kids learn in school about business and finance-and what they should know (how to observe and serve others). Look inside!

"5 stars. A clever storyteller.... Colorfully illustrated...ideas [on] how to build one's own treasure.... A very educational resource," - Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite. The perfect length picture book for kids (not too long for adults): 26 full-color pages. Teach a child to fish: this kids' book shows how to spot opportunities to help others, earn one's keep, and save money (financial literacy). End notes have ideas for businesses, money-making activities, plus online resources on career choices, managing money, finding customers, and moving up in an organization.
