In this series of 10 books, Nobel Laureate in economics Esther Duflo tackles many themes tied to poverty in a way children can understand.

Oola could hail from Africa, Asia, or South America. She lives in a village sprung from the imagination of illustrator Cheyenne Olivier. In this picture book, children will experience a village election alongside Oola, a chance to present stories and images of poverty free of the prejudice, stereotype, and caricature that so often plague such depictions. Far from proposing miracle solutions, this series invites us to think differently and speak openly about a subject that concerns us all.
