Summary

Mellody Hobson introduces young readers to money through facts, questions and illustrated examples. The book explores the forms money takes, its history and its place in everyday life.

Nell Scovell contributes to the text and Caitlin Stevens supplies the illustrations. The approach aims to make an often unfamiliar subject accessible, rather than offer a personal investment program.
