Money and Finance for Kids and Teens is a highly informative and entertaining book. Author Thelma Ribeiro and illustrator Carla Rodrigues do a great job. Marlon is an intelligent young boy who loves spending summers with his grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa equally love to spend time with Marlon because he is creative and always ready to help out. This summer, Marlon will not only be spending time with his grandparents; he will also be seeing Mia, his cousin, and learning about how to make his money grow fast. Grandpa teaches Marlon a lot about making his money grow (investment), interest, and risks by using planting as an analogy. The lessons he learns are profound and would interest any keen and intelligent kid or teen.
Money and Finance for Kids and Teens: Let's Talk About Investing develops with the characters, and I related to them and found more depth within its pages. Grandpa is very instrumental in educating Marlon, and by extension, me, the reader. This book is simply a wake-up call to adults and parents everywhere. Children and teenagers can no longer be without financial education, especially taught first by the closest adults in their family. There are puzzles to figure out in the book, and this contributes to its entertaining and educational content. New words, such as "analogy,” are also seamlessly explained within the narrative. Also, a lot of easy-to-understand gardening analogies are used in the book, which is commendable. The illustrations literally add life to the pages, and I appreciated them.
