This book captures the five guideposts for financial literacy (earn, save, spend, invest, give) while delivering content in an entertaining and educational way."
The book includes an introduction to Swahili, is aligned to national financial literacy standards, and makes a perfect addition to any elementary classroom looking to connect personal finance to social studies and geography..
