Kathryn is ready to spend every penny the moment it hits her hand, while Elizabeth takes her time and thinks things through. Their shopping adventure is filled with giggles, glitter, oversized toys, and important conversations about spending, saving, and making choices that feel good later and not just in the moment.

Written by Sarabeth O’Neil and illustrated by Jennifer Zivoin, this book introduces key money concepts like:

Perfect for parents or teachers looking to teach smart money habits in a way kids will actually enjoy. Whether you’re talking about allowance, wants vs. needs, or where money comes from, Kathryn and Elizabeth make the lesson memorable and adorably fun.

Why It Matters
