Bonnie Rose has an amazing talent for writing simple notes to explain a complex time. AND she does it in a way that’s fun to learn (describing the economy as about to fall off a cliff – with a picture of a cliff to emphasize the point and make it humorous; talking about the misfortunate chain of events as a domino effect – cue the fun dominoes coloring page). Another favorite of ours!
