Public goods are things we all share-like clean air, parks, and streetlights. They are non-rivalrous (one person’s use doesn’t take away from another) and non-excludable (everyone can access them). But what does that really mean? This book breaks down these big ideas into a fun and easy-to-understand story that helps children see how public goods shape their everyday lives.

Through the classic fable of ＂The Bundles of Sticks,＂ children will discover a valuable lesson: a single stick is weak, but a bundle is unbreakable. Just like public goods, some things are stronger and more valuable when we share and work together.
