What are you looking at? asked the boy. Trouble and treasure, said the old woman.
When a resourceful child notices that hungry fish are struggling in a blocked stream, he does something about it--and discovers that the best opportunities come from helping, not just looking.
Selected by the State of Vermont for primary school career curriculum, this picture book builds financial literacy through a timeless folktale for ages 7-17 (grades 2-12).
What young people learn: how to observe a problem and imagine a solution; how to work, save, and invest wisely; and why spotting ways to serve others is the foundation of any real career. End notes include job and money tips kids can apply immediately.
Masterful...immensely appealing...readable...realistic but soft Asian-style illustrations. -Crystie Cook, poet
