GiveAshare's "I'm A Shareholder" Book 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".
GiveAshare.com has
been selling one-share stock ownership in over 100 world famous
companies as unique gifts since 2002. A gift-giver can go to
www.giveashare.com (or call 866-291-9918 toll free) and purchase
