Reach for this book when your child starts asking why you can't just buy everything at the store or when they first begin to notice that 'paper' and 'metal' have specific values. It provides a foundational bridge between the abstract concept of money and the physical items we use to represent it. By exploring various currencies from around the world, the book encourages a global perspective on a common daily necessity. At its heart, this is a curiosity-driven guide that fosters a sense of responsibility and wonder about how communities function. It is perfectly pitched for the 5 to 8-year-old range, using clear photography and simple sentences to explain where money comes from and what it looks like in different cultures. It is an excellent tool for parents who want to introduce financial literacy without the pressure of complex math, focusing instead on the 'what' and 'where' of global currency.
