A new book series, The Hopscotch Girls, aims to teach young girls financial literacy and entrepreneurship in a fun and relatable way.
Melissa Foley, founder of The Hopscotch Girls, joins the Fox 17 Morning Mix via Zoom to discuss the new book series which recognizes the need for children to develop a strong foundation in financial literacy.
One of the key aspects of the Hopscotch Girls series is the focus on building confidence and self-esteem in young girls. By showcasing strong, independent female characters, the books aim to combat stereotypes and inspire girls to believe in themselves and their abilities.
The Pop-Up Shop Predicament stars Mia, future CEO. After starting a successful pet-sitting business—Have-A-Nice-Vacation—and a seasonal lemonade stand—Pack Some Punch Stand, Mia realizes that she can use her business experience to help her classmates. However, Mia soon finds that juggling her businesses, schoolwork, and friends can be a challenge. With the help of her CEO mom, Mia tackles her friends’ problems (and her own) head-on and teaches them, and readers, the ins-and-outs of running a successful kid business.
Through the adventures of the second book Mia Madison, CEO and her friends, children will learn what it’s like to run businesses and learn about balancing the demands of school, friends, and family life along the way.
