Publishing Principles – Economics for Kids

At Economics for Kids, we are committed to creating engaging, inclusive, and high-quality educational content that empowers young learners to understand the world of money, decision-making, and value through storytelling. Our publishing approach is grounded in the following core principles:

1. Child-Centered Learning

We design every book, story, and resource with the developmental needs of children in mind. Our content is tailored to spark curiosity, foster imagination, and simplify complex economic ideas in a way that is age-appropriate, relatable, and enjoyable.


2. Storytelling as a Teaching Tool

We believe in the power of stories. By blending classic fables, fairy tales, and modern narratives with economic lessons, we make learning intuitive and memorable. Our books bridge the gap between abstract concepts and real-life situations by anchoring them in familiar, engaging contexts.


3. Simplicity with Substance

Economic concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, savings, incentives, and trade-offs are simplified without diluting their meaning. We use clear language, real-world examples, and charming illustrations to support understanding without overwhelming young readers.


4. Inclusivity and Representation

We are dedicated to reflecting diverse voices and experiences. Our stories represent a variety of cultures, family structures, and perspectives to ensure all children see themselves in our books and feel included in the world of learning and economics.


5. Parent and Educator Friendly

We aim to support not just children, but the adults guiding them. Each story is crafted to encourage meaningful conversations between kids, parents, and teachers. Our books include discussion prompts and learning points to extend educational value beyond the page.


6. Ethical and Educational Integrity

We uphold a strong commitment to factual accuracy, responsible messaging, and age-appropriate content. We avoid promoting consumerism or biased financial ideologies, and instead focus on universal principles that help children make smart, thoughtful decisions.


7. Locally Inspired, Globally Relevant

While proudly crafted in Australia and inspired by local settings and voices, our themes are universally relevant. Economics is a global language, and our goal is to help children everywhere become more confident, informed, and responsible thinkers.


8. Sustainability and Accessibility

We strive to publish in ways that are environmentally conscious and accessible. Whether through printed books or digital formats, we aim to reach as many children as possible while being mindful of our ecological footprint.


By upholding these principles, Economics for Kids seeks to create a generation of young thinkers who are curious, confident, and capable of making better choices—for themselves and their communities.
