May Moon Rescues the World Economy is the second storybook, written to help children understand broad economic concepts and the causes of the financial crisis that plunged the world into a recession in 2008.
May Moon's Book of Choices (or《美滿抉擇之書》in Chinese), the third storybook in the series, helps children learn about ethics, money morals and how to make right choices when it comes to money matters.
