Money (Children's&YA)

Series: What Is Money?

World of Money: What is Money? is the first book in a groundbreaking children's series that makes one of life's most important subjects-money-fun, magical, and unforgettable.

When 8-year-old Noah discovers a talking gold coin named Midas in his grandpa's attic, he's whisked away on a time-traveling adventure through the history of money. Together, they journey from Stone Age bartering and seashell necklaces to Roman salt salaries, giant stone wheels, golden coins, paper promises, and the digital wallets of today. Along the way, Noah learns that money isn't just coins, bills, or apps on a phone-it's trust, choices, and one of the most powerful inventions in human history.

Blending laugh-out-loud humor, vivid world-building, and real financial wisdom, this illustrated adventure gives kids ages 5-12 the foundation to understand what money really is and why it matters. With relatable characters, classroom-friendly discussion points, and bonus activities at the end, What is Money? is the perfect tool for parents, teachers, and schools looking to spark curiosity about financial literacy in a way kids actually enjoy.

This is not a stuffy textbook-it's a magical journey packed with storytelling, learning, and heart. By the final page, kids won't just know what money is. They'll start asking the right questions about how to use it wisely.

Iris Wang is a global investor, storyteller, and mom on a mission to help kids unlock the power of money with curiosity and confidence. She has spent decades at the forefront of institutional investing, working with some of the biggest companies in the world to navigate financial markets and shape strategies that move billions. Those experiences-combined with countless dinner table debates with her two brilliantly opinioned sons-inspired her to reimagine the often-intimidating world of finance as something playful, relatable, and meaningful.To bridge that gap, she created the World of Money series: a collection of books designed to empower young readers to build a healthy relationship with money and their financial lives from the very beginning. Through laughter, wonder, and even time travel, Iris brings financial wisdom to life in ways that spark curiosity and excitement. This is her first book-but certainly not her last-written with love, passion, and a vision to inspire generations to come.
