Description

As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, “Financial expert Mellody Hobson wrote this children’s book to encourage financial literacy, but I bet, like me, many adults will learn fun facts about money—such as where the word greenbacks came from.” An instant New York Times bestseller! Mellody Hobson, barrier-breaking pioneer in the world of finance, demystifies money for kids with a look at some wild and weird facts about what makes the world go round. What is the meaning of all those symbols on US bills (and why are they so hard to counterfeit)? What’s with people calling money “bacon” or “cheddar” or “smackeroonies”? With savvy and wit, financial expert Mellody Hobson sheds a friendly light on a daunting subject, from the meteorites that created the first mineral deposits to the ancient Maya who used chocolate as currency to the beginnings of the banking system itself. Readers learn about bartering, profit and loss, the origins of credit, ATMs, and even fun facts about money around the world. In her first children’s book, Mellody Hobson brings excitement to the realm of financial literacy and gives kids the tools they need to navigate money now and in the future. Featuring energetic artwork by debut illustrator Caitlin Stevens, amusing skits starring a cat and bunny who converse in money idioms, and inserts depicting the author and her business partner as kids just learning how money works, Priceless Facts about Money is an inviting, entertaining, and richly educational resource for every child.

  • Fun Easy to Understand Money Book
Format: Hardcover
Oprah had Mellody on her podcast talking about her book, it's evolution and her life money's experiences. The facts are simple, concise and very informative. The illustrations are beautiful, colorful and very detailed. There were money facts that aren't talked bout or taught. This is book includes fun money facts for both children and adults alike to learn and appreciate. I especially enjoyed the History of of money, the different items that were used as currency throughout time, the real-life adventure examples of John and Mellody on trading/bartering, nicknames of money and the names of currency throughout the world. ... show more

I purchased this book for my 16-year-old granddaughter, to help her understand better the tools we all need to become successful adult in this society, which has changed so much since my childhood. But yet the basic consists are the same. Many of the tools this author talks about in this very well written book offer Key guidance to the day to day dealing with money and the need to properly manage it regardless, of how much you make, but to help guild you with the basic approach to manage your income. I thank God that my parents grifted me with those basic, and even though it was not as hard, because life was simpler. I say thank you to author for this book, and I hope more parents and adults purchase it for their children or for their self's, it well opens your eyes to a better quality of Life. ... show more
