GiveAshare's "I'm A Shareholder" Wins Prestigious NAPPA Honors Award
 
 Portland, OR, October 1, 2008 –  GiveAshare.com's I'm A Shareholder book was named an Honors Award winner in the 2008 National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) Children’s Products competition. Full results will be announced Nov. 1, 2008, in more than 40 regional parenting magazines across the country and online at Parenthood.com. This distinguished award recognizes I'm A Shareholder as a standout among books & kits available for children today.

Now in its 18th year, NAPPA is a well-known name in the world of children’s learning and entertainment. Parents, relatives and those who work with children rely on NAPPA’s recommendation of high-quality toys and products that provide “smart fun,” good design, and grow with children’s ever-expanding interests and skills.

“NAPPA-winning products meet the most stringent criteria and are judged by nationally recognized industry experts, educators, reviewers and advocates in their fields,” says NAPPA Manager Barbara Smith Decker. “NAPPA has set the industry standard of excellence for nearly two decades and is a much sought-after award. When parents see the NAPPA seal on winning products, they’re assured of a topnotch fun and learning experience for their children.”

I'm A Shareholder  is part of GiveAshare.com's SECRET FORMULA for teaching kids about money and stocks. The book is based on the author and founder's experience as a child. His parents helped him purchase Topps Chewing Gum Inc. which was perfect for an avid sports card collector and voracious gum-chewer. "From that point on, I was hooked. I couldn't wait to get home and check the stock quotes", says Rick. I'm A Shareholder is the ONLY book out there intended to be used in conjunction with a share of stock, whether it is from GiveAshare.com or held in an account with a stock broker. It grabs kid's attention and keeps them engaged with vivid colors, compelling content and a unique approach. Rick says that "Kids pay attention because they have skin in the game by owning a share or shares of stock. They get mail from their company and learn along the way".
