Description
This book teaches children how to think critically about the information they encounter. Using engaging examples, it explains concepts like inflation through relatable items, such as a toy spaceship, and demonstrates how understanding investing can be illustrated with a pooping cow. Readers will learn about historical figures like Florence Nightingale, who used data to drive change, and the dangers of fake news. By becoming a Truth Detective, children will develop skills to analyse numbers and narratives in everyday life.
