Description

From Screen Zombies to Digital Superheroes – The Ultimate Guide for Young Creators

Meet Max and Mia, siblings who accidentally discovered that spilling glitter glue on a comic book could lead to the greatest adventure ever - transforming from digital CONSUMERS into tech-savvy CREATORS! 

In Tycoon Town, these everyday kids (and their robot dog Metallia!) are about to show YOUR 8-12 year old how to: 

- Create amazing tech projects that'll make friends say "WHOA!"

- Outsmart sneaky apps that treat kids like products instead of people

- Balance their digital diet without giving up the fun stuff

- Join a worldwide crew of kid innovators changing the digital landscape

Packed with laugh-out-loud adventures, hands-on activities, and real stories of young creators, this book doesn't just talk about digital literacy - it transforms it into an epic quest your child won't want to put down! 

FOR PARENTS & EDUCATORS: This isn't just another children's book. It's a science-backed approach to healthy technology use that kids actually enjoy. Includes a comprehensive guide with conversation starters, implementation strategies, and resources to extend learning beyond the page. 

About the Author 

DOLAPO ADEYEMI is a London-based serial entrepreneur who grew up in Nigeria with an accountant father and entrepreneurial mother, learning early that knowledge was the ultimate currency. With a degree in Chemical Engineering (and later an MBA at London Business School), she worked in the energy sector, started her own business making solar-powered bags, moved into the world of fashion with OYSBY, her own premium footwear brand, and was a finalist in the Draper’ Footwear Awards and was featured in Oprah magazine and other major media.

Immersing herself in technology and marketing innovation, and now with two daughters, she had an epiphany: we live in a world where only a privileged few truly understand how systems really work – from digital algorithms to financial markets – and we’re failing our children by not giving them this knowledge early. Furthermore, there is no reason why kids cannot understand the dopamine tricks of the attention economy, the origin, value, and systems of money, recognize cognitive biases, and learn to replace conflict with empathy.  

Watching her daughters, now 8 and 10 navigate our digital world, she saw both the incredible potential and the pitfalls of technology in young hands. Tiny Tycoons was born from these everyday parenting moments – from explaining how apps work to discussing why we can't believe everything we see online.
