The Missing Money is the first picture book in a new series aimed at inspiring young children to learn basic financial terms in a fun and age-appropriate way. It is a wonderful conversation starter about money, how a bank works and why we should save our money.
I love the page that shows all the basic banking terms like: ATM, Money, Debit Card, Bank, Interest, etc….
The girls and I had such a great conversation about money and how we put most of the money they receive from birthdays and special occasions in their savings account but, I always allow them to have a small amount of money in their wallets to spend on whatever they like.
About the book:
“The book follows Kai, a young boy on his way to the bank to deposit his newly earned money. While at the bank, a big scary ATM machine eats all of his money! Kai struggles to understand where his money went and creates an elaborate plan to get it back.”
Author Okeoma Moronu Schreiner partnered with illustrator Sandhya Prahbat to create this colorfully illustrated children’s series that emphasizes the idea that you are never too young to learn about your finances.
The Missing Money (July 2019) will be the first of three books to release in the Money Monsters series, all of which are set to publish within the year. We are so excited to read this series and continue to talk about how important it is to save your money and know about your finances.
