Talking to Children about Money can be Challenging
2 children’s books to get the conversation started:
‘How The Moonjar Was Made’ chronicles Noom and Raj – a dreamer and a thinker – who work together to learn about the three S’s: Saving, Spending and Sharing. The knowledge they gain leads them to create the Moonjar Moneybox and they make their dreams possible. Children delight in reading the book and being hands-on with the Classic Moonjar Moneybox as they use their own money and divide it up among the Save, Spend and Share sections.
In ‘Noom & Raj Start a Business: The ABC’s of Money,’ they become business partners and open up a lemonade stand. In this book, children will learn the ABC’s of money and finance as they travel with the characters on a journey filled with unexpected adventures. Every book comes with a Moonjar Moneybox tucked inside!
