Description:

Please join Busboys and Poets Books as we welcome author Veronica Goodman to Takoma for story time!

From Adam Smith to Zero Sum, E is for Economics is a humorous, colorful introduction to the language of economics for preschool-age children. Written by an economist, the book features a new economics term for every letter of the alphabet, illustrated by full-color, playful images to entertain parents and children alike as you move from A to Z. While I wouldn't recommend that you use this book to study for your econ Ph.D. exams or to make important investment decisions, if you want to teach your child the alphabet, this is the book for you!

Veronica Goodman is an economist and children's book author based in the Washington, D.C. area where she lives with her husband, daughter, and beloved cat, Galileo. Her goal is to add diversity to the types of children's books available to families everywhere, nurture a love of reading in children, and keep their parents engaged during reading time. She has graduate degrees in economics and management from Johns Hopkins University, and she earned her undergraduate degree from The George Washington University. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. For more information, please visit veronicagoodman.com.
