Josh Nelson's upcoming ninth birthday party is the perfect opportunity for the Nelson family to mentor their daughter Elle through planning, meal preparations, and sticking to a budget. Join Elle as she overcomes her fear of the unknown, estimates, creates a shopping list, and successfully sticks to her first budget plan. In the fun series of books, children will learn along with Josh, Elle, and the other animals at Baobab Place. As a family, it can be hard to teach children how to budget, plan, and make smart money decisions. But when they see other children their age mastering these skills, they realize they can be smart with money too! A great primer for personal finances for kids and families, these books encourage discussion, conversation, and creating learning moments for everyone in the family.
