Why am I passionate about this?
Growing up I noticed that a lot of my friends would avoid conversations about the stock market mainly because a lack of confidence or knowledge around how it works. I also saw a visible gap in financial literacy among kids that I volunteered with. The school system is doing the best they can, but we can’t rely on them to plant every seed within our kids. With the knowledge gained from friends and countless hours of research from taking classes on the stock market, I created a book that focused on teaching kids about all things stock related but also could be used as a tool of learning for all ages.

Why did Leslie love this book?
A Boy, a Budget and a Dream is easily one of my favorites because I related with the character first which made it so much easier to share with my son.
He is still too young to understand but it makes for a great bedtime story now. The book is easy to follow along and the illustrations are great. Jasmine does a great job in breaking down the connection between proper budgeting and having a plan to get what you want.
1 author picked A Boy, a Budget and a Dream as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 4, 5, 6, and 7.
