Luncheon: Connor Boyack, Author of the “Tuttle Twins” on teaching liberty to future generations

How do current generations pass down the ideas of liberty to future generations? A recent survey by the Cato Institute and YouGov paints a troubling picture: 62 percent of Americans aged 18–29 say they hold a “favorable view” of socialism, and 34 percent say the same of communism.

Like you, we at the Rio Grande Foundation are concerned about the future of freedom. That’s why we’re hosting a luncheon with Connor Boyack, author of the Tuttle Twins book series.

Haven’t heard about the Tuttle Twins? The Tuttle Twins are a series of children’s books and an animated show that aims to teach kids about principles of economics, government, and individual liberty through the adventures of twin siblings, Ethan and Emily Tuttle. RGF president Paul Gessing has kids and can share that his daughters enjoyed the books immensely.
