How can young children learn the value of work, integrity, and entrepreneurship? I asked myself that question when my daughter was three years old. I've seen the importance of these principles in my life as an adult, and I wanted to help her absorb them even at her young age. That's where the idea of this story, which is based on the famous "Parable of the Talents" that Jesus once told, was born. It's a story that embraces and expresses financial concepts and the value of work.

Till the Lion Returns is a sweet, amusing tale that illustrates the positive results of applying these concepts and values as well as the negative consequences of not doing so. It covers topics of leadership, responsibility, work, observation, patience, and accountability in a natural, approachable way, and it will spark a dialogue that allows parents and children to learn together.
