Kidonomix by Alishah Asrani began as a children’s picture book series designed for parents and teachers of children ages 4–8 who want to introduce foundational economic concepts such as decision-making, saving, and self-control. The series teaches these ideas through engaging storytelling and colorful, modern AI-powered illustrations.
The project then evolved into an independent research-backed initiative focused on understanding how storytelling can influence children’s thinking and early decision-making behavior regarding financial literacy topics. Through storytelling workshops and data collection, the project aims to improve future books in the series by incorporating real-world feedback and behavioral insights.
