Julie proves once again she knows how to bring liberty to new audiences, this time to children. She's written 'I, Pencil' for kids, and I recommend it for you and your kids. - U.S. Senator Rand Paul. How do you explain Smith's invisible hand to a child? Julie Borowski makes it easy, fun, and appetizing all at once. Kids will love the vibrant pictures and the real story behind one of their favorite foods. - Dr. Marianne Wanamaker, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Tennessee. The shortest, most delightful, and most profound book on the free market... It also happens to be very beautiful. The illustrations are actually hilariously evocative and fun... Maybe it will be a classic? I don't know but it should be. - Jeffrey Tucker, editorial director at the American Institute for Economic Research. Leonard Read's delightful 1958 essay, I, Pencil, introduced generations of readers to the marvel of the market, showing how thousands of people cooperate across the globe to produce even the most ordinary items. Kudos to Julie Borowski for painting an even more vivid picture - literally! - for younger readers of peaceful, commercial interaction. This beautifully written and illustrated book introduces children to important concepts like production, the division of labor, the profit motive, and other ideas that everyone should know. Let's send a copy to every journalist, teacher, and politician! - Dr. Peter Klein, Professor of Entrepreneurship at Baylor University. The simplest explanations are always the best ones. Julie does an incredible job of explaining the awesome power of economic freedom in a way even our youngest minds can comprehend. My daughter loves this book. -Dan Bongino, radio show host.
