Give the next generation a different first vocabulary about money.

Children inherit the world we hand them, in the language we hand them. Most of us inherited the dollar in a language built to disguise what it does.

These two books give the next generation a different first vocabulary:

• Mara and the Stones of Stonewater — a chapter book for children. Memory, money, and the truth that cannot be taken, told through a story rather than a curriculum.
• What Every Parent Needs to Tell Their Children About Money (Crossing the Rubicon) — the adult companion, so you are ready for the questions the story will raise.

Read it with a child. Hand it to a parent who is asking better questions. Give it to a grandchild before someone else writes the rules of their world for them.

Both books are in print and available wherever books are sold. The PDF downloads are free for a limited time.
