Jayden & Friends Making Sense of Cents

Beschreibung

Jayden is back with his friends Chad, Zora, and their new friend, Mateo. Together, they are an ambitious, adventurous crew who come up with the brilliant idea to buy a basketball hoop for them to share when they are hanging out at Jayden's house. When Jayden shares the idea with his dad, he is shocked when his father informs him that buying the hoop is not part of the family's financial goals. If Jayden and his friends want a basketball hoop, they would have to buy it with their own money. The crew was not expecting to use their own cash to get what they wanted, but the resourceful bunch was determined to make it happen! The crew put their heads together and figured out a way to buy the basketball hoop. Not only do they learn basic money principles of setting goals and earning, spending, and saving money, they also became young entrepreneurs! In Jayden & Friends: Making Sense of Cents, your young readers will fall in love with this heartwarming tale filled with lessons about working hard, setting goals, making money, and working together. These are lessons they will be able to apply to their lives for many years to come! All of the books in the Jayden & Friends series, I Am Me, Jayden & Zora's Crown, and now Jayden & Friends: Making Sense of Cents, are great additions to children's bookshelves globally. They are great for encouraging reading and teaching lessons about celebrating who you are, loving and accepting others, and appreciating our differences and similarities.

Autor

Trevor D. is an American writer of books for children and youth, grades K-3. Her debut children's book, I Am Me, introduces the main character, Jayden. This is the first book in the coming series which will feature Jayden as he endeavors through life, from the perspective of an African American boy. Trevor D. has made fostering literacy her mission. She's recognized that brown and black boys are pulling up the rear when it comes to literacy and she is determined to shift the paradigm, one book at a time. She intends to use her platform to promote and advocate for more attention and focus to be given to fostering a love for reading and writing in African American boys, at the early stages in their academic journeys. Trevor D. has embarked on a quest to utilize her love for writing to create a space where the underrepresented can find books where the characters look like them and share a cultural connection. Her goal is to infuse representation in books that will ignite a passion for reading and promote positive self-images. Her intention is to inspire brown and black boys to seek to excel in life, in a diversity of areas, and not live into the stereotypes that have been set. While promoting a love for reading in African American boys, Trevor D. also hopes to give ALL children the gift of being able to see the world through the eyes of others. "The gift of empathy is what allows us the ability to embrace our differences and similarities and use them to make the world a better place." -Trevor D.
