A topic that is often difficult to talk about, but this book opens the door to discuss it in a fun way. It encourages kids to feel empowered and smart about money management! It is easy for a child to relate to the main characters Khloe and Jayden. My second grader was very excited and engaged enthusiastically with this book.

A cute and colorfully-illustrated story, making the "boring stuff” fun! A simple way to talk about money and prioritize what you spend it on. I love the line "thanks for paying for the boring stuff"! Parents and kids reading this together starts an important habit of talking about money.
