From budgeting to spending, to piggy banks to savings accounts, this new early chapter book series tackles and explains big financial topics for kids, Dollars to Doughnuts!
Julian has saved his pennies—and quarters and dollars—for ages. He keeps them in a safe place, at the top of the closet, behind his winter blanket in his trusty piggy bank, Wilbur. But now his mom, his dad, even his best friend, Lucy, who barely saves any money at all, says Wilbur isn’t safe enough. They want him to move his money to a bank! Will Julian keep Wilbur, or open a savings account? What’s the right thing to do?
Catherine Daly has written many books for young readers, including The Magical Reality of Nadia and The Magical Reality of Nadia: Middle School Mischief, both with Bassem Youssef, What Was the Age of Exploration?, the Petal Pushers middle-grade series, and several books in the Makers Make It Work series. She lives in New York City with her family and their feisty Boston terrier, Jack.
