Grandpa Lawry enjoys spending time with his grandchildren, Tommy and Elaine. Because Grandpa Bill is a lawyer, his fables always end up with a lesson. So, when Tommy needs help explaining the concept of insurance, Grandpa Lawry tells his own special version of The Three Pigs. After the three pigs build houses, natural disaster strikes. Luckily Mr. Owl, the insurance agent, is there to help. Tommy and Elaine learn all about insurance and how they can protect their favourite things.

CONCEPT
“Three Pigs Get Insurance” is the first book in the Grandpa Lawry's Stories series of educational story books for children ages 6-12. In today’s highly competitive educational environment, school curriculums focus almost entirely on subjects covered on standardized tests. During the school day, students are given books to read that focus on writing, science and math. Yet, younger students still need to learn about careers, business concepts and vocational vocabulary.
Working life is not as it used to be. Today’s children will enter a high paced, competitive workforce. In our modern society, careers are more complex than the traditional teacher, nurse, or chef. In a recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 63% of companies said they were looking to hire business majors, the second highest field after engineering.
Modern parents have the desire and need to introduce their children to business concepts at an early age. Yet, most children’s books cover topics like princesses, puppies and fire trucks. Where are the books that introduce careers in business, insurance, law, or investment banking or explain entrepreneurship?
The Grandpa Lawry's series is a resource for modern parents to read to and with their elementary age children. Each lesson is explained by a familiar fable, bridging the gap between old fashioned stories and twenty first century life skills.
“Grandpa” Lawrence Lawson is no traditional rocking chair grandfather. A successful trial lawyer, firm owner, and on the board of directors of a highly successful financial institution, Lawry always finds time to spend with his ten-year-old grandson, Tommy, and eight-year-old granddaughter, Elaine. The children love to hear his stories, and Grandpa Lawry is always happy to indulge them with a story and a lesson. Set in today’s multi-cultural, multi-career world, Tommy and Elaine interact with many different types of people and occupations. The stories will explore job titles such as Lawyer, Insurance Agent, Investment Banker, Real Estate Broker, Business Owner and CEO.
