What can children read that illustrates the principles of liberty? Not a whole lot, to be blunt. That’s why I’m so pleased with Connor Boyack’s beautiful new Tuttle Twins series, the most recent entry of which is a children’s version of Leonard Read’s famous essay “I, Pencil.” That’s what we talked about on the show today.
