Do your children know how free markets work? Ethan and Emily Tuttle use many things in their daily lives without thinking about how they are made: clothing, cars, houses, backpacks, or even a simple pencil. In this fun adventure with a trip to an exciting factory, they learn that even the production of a simple pencil is actually a miracle, and they discover how many steps are involved in the process. This story is based on the essay "I, Pencil" by Leonard Read. It playfully explains to children the economic principles of spontaneous order, division of labor, as well as trade, competition, and the free market. It also conveys how people can cooperate peacefully around the world because of these principles.
