About the Event
We’re reading: 'A Smart Way to Start' by Dr. Mara Harvey
A Smart Way To Start is a rhymed children’s book that teaches children about earning money and equal pay. “For all the children’s life goals, there are two things they will need: some money to start and a smart plan indeed.”
Children learn how money needs to be earned chore by chore, and how there is no reason whatsoever for a girl to be paid less than a boy for the exact same chore, done equally well.
We’ll be joined by the author herself, Dr Mara Harvey, to tell us more.
