Reach for this book when your child starts asking where money goes after you hand it to a cashier or begins curious negotiations for their own allowance. It is the perfect bridge for the 'big kid' transition of understanding value beyond just shiny coins. By personifying a newly minted quarter named George, Loreen Leedy demystifies the complex flow of the economy in a way that feels like an adventure rather than a lecture. As George travels from a bank to a grocery store, a vending machine, and even a charity jar, children learn about earning, spending, saving, and donating. The story addresses the emotional concepts of patience and delayed gratification, showing that money is a tool for community connection. It is ideal for elementary-aged children who are developing their first sense of financial independence and curiosity about how the adult world functions.
