Where does money come from-and what should kids do with it once they have it?
Hey Dad, Where Does the Money Come From? turns everyday family conversations into simple, practical money lessons children can understand and remember.
Follow Dad, Mom, Davu, Ebu, and Abi as they learn how money works at different ages-from the first ideas of spending, saving, and giving to budgeting, debit cards, credit, interest, investing, and making thoughtful financial choices.
Designed for children ages 5-13, the book grows with the reader through three age-based stages. Younger children learn through simple examples and colorful activities, while older children explore more advanced ideas such as banking, advertising, credit, investing, compound growth, and avoiding "get rich quick" traps.
Along the way, children learn how to:
• Tell the difference between needs and wants
• Give money a purpose
• Spend, save, and give wisely
• Set goals and recover from setbacks
• Understand budgets and everyday prices
• Learn how debit cards, credit, and banks work
• Recognize advertising and impulsive buying
• Discover the basics of investing and long-term growth
• Build healthy money habits for the future
Warm family conversations, relatable situations, and engaging illustrations make financial literacy feel less like a lesson and more like a conversation at home.
Because good money habits don't begin when children become adults-they begin with the questions they ask today.
