About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing an interest in collecting, sorting, or asking about where everyday objects come from. It is perfect for those quiet moments when a child wants to bridge the gap between simple play and the fascinating reality of the 'adult' world, specifically through the lens of money and history. While it serves as an educational guide, the heart of the story lies in the bond between a father and son as they share a quiet, focused hobby. The book follows a young boy and his father as they explore their coin collection, detailing how coins are made, their historical significance, and how to identify different markings. Beyond the math and social studies, it reinforces themes of patience, attention to detail, and the joy of shared discovery. It is an ideal choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are moving beyond simple counting and are ready to understand the 'why' and 'how' behind the things they see every day.
