Fun graphics with in-depth, kid-friendly explanations, this book teaches practical day-to-day tips on saving, spending and growing money. It also explores global topics like the economy, government spending, taxes, recession, and cryptocurrency which helps them understand the bigger picture of economics. These are valuable concepts to understand. But my favorite chapter in this engaging book focuses on your relationship with money including the pressures of FOMO, money worries and inequality, charities, and addictive shopping habits and gambling. Try it Yourself activities and a short money quiz conclude the book.
