Atlanta Children's Book Author Wins 2009 New England Book Festival Award
Message of Teaching Kids Business and Entrepreneurship Shines at the New England Book Festival
ATLANTA, GA, January 06, 2010 /Books PR News/ -- The New England Book Festival has chosen Tyler & His Solve-a-matic Machine (by Jennifer Bouani, Bouje Publishing) as the winner in the Teenage/Young Adult category. The New England Book Festival celebrates and awards the best books published in Fiction and Non-Fiction. Tyler & His Solve-a-matic Machine has also been honored in the past with Disney's nationally prestigious iParenting Media Award, The 2007 Excellent Products in Children's Books as well as received an Honorable Mention in the 2009 London Book Festival.
"Jennifer Bouani has the gift for writing for children" said Amazon.com TOP 10 REVIEWER Grady Harp. He added, "Every so often a new writer surfaces who along with the company of the likes of Roald Dahl, E.B. White, C.S. Lewis and others has the talent to speak to children about things adult in a manner that is not only informative and correct intelligently, but at the same time keeps in mind the importance of molding the realm of fantasy and tales that still focus the attention of all of us. Jennifer Bouani has the gift and in Tyler & His Solve-a-matic Machine she bows on stage as a skilled thinker and a consummate communicator."
Tyler & His Solve-a-matic Machine (Bouje Publishing, ISBN-13: 9780977926503) is about an orphan boy who invents a machine to help him do his homework and creates a business to manufacture this machine. He must endure many tests set out for him by the Great Spirit of the Entrepreneurs, Sote, before he can officially become a successful business owner and realize his dream of sailing around the world. These tests are symbolic of obstacles encountered by adult entrepreneurs in the real world. They teach business concepts in a simple yet adventurous way showing them how to participate in and reap the rewards of our society.
The message crosses all geographic, gender, racial, and socioeconomic lines empowering kids to reach for their dreams while learning real life lessons. Some of the lessons covered in the story can make all the difference in a kid's future: the importance of dreaming big, protecting an idea, fighting doubts, building self-esteem, hiring the right people, finding the right real estate, networking, making money, and achieving success. "In today's global marketplace of extreme competition," said Bouani, "It is critical more than ever that children learn early the principles of free market trade and how to become leaders."
"Entertaining, educational, inspirational -- an absolutely brilliant book" said Amazon.com TOP 50 REVIEWER Daniel Jolley.
" Bouani brilliantly takes a potentially dry subject as entrepreneurship and communicates its basic principles in a fun and entertaining way. As the founder of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship and one of the leading experts on youth entrepreneurship education, I know how complicated this subject can be for children. Unlike many financial or business books written for children, this one approaches kids at their level with an engaging story and plenty of mystery & suspense. She actually gets kids excited about becoming entrepreneurs themselves, and that's an amazing accomplishment. In addition, it is a wonderful introduction to free-market capitalism. It should be a part of American school curricula and every family's library, because it sets the basic foundation that every kid needs to build a successful future." Steve Mariotti, Founder of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)
