What does a solar panel have to do with the price of gasoline - and why does it matter to your family? This illustrated nonfiction introduction helps children ages 8-12 discover the fascinating connection between energy and the economy. From oil markets to wind farms, from energy poverty to the green transition, young readers will explore how the world powers itself - and who pays the price. Inside, your child will learn:
- What energy economics means and why every family is affected by it
- How fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas drive - and disrupt - economies worldwide
- Why renewable sources such as solar and wind are changing the cost of power
- How supply, demand, and scarcity determine what we pay for electricity and fuel
- What nuclear energy contributes to the economic mix
- Why energy poverty affects millions of children around the globe
- How saving energy at home connects to bigger national and global savings
- The role of geopolitics - how countries use energy as economic power
- What the future of clean energy could mean for jobs, costs, and the planet
Who this is for:
Written for curious readers in grades 3-7, this nonfiction title is ideal for parents who want to build economic thinking alongside science literacy. It works equally well for classroom use, homeschool economics or STEM units, and independent reading. No prior knowledge of economics or science required - clear explanations and real-world examples do the work. Why this topic matters now:
Energy headlines dominate the news, yet few resources explain the economics behind them in language children can actually understand. This fills that gap - giving kids the vocabulary and frameworks to think critically about one of the most important issues of their generation. Scroll up and add it to your cart to give your young learner a head start on understanding how the world really works.
