Money Is Easy — Charles Todd

MONEY IS EASY is a Christian-based illustrated children's rhyming book that debuts Money Mike, a super cool money tree that branches out with the message, Money is as easy as counting one, two, three! Money Mike interacts with a young boy and girl, showing them his money leaves that have unique lessons and values of how to TITHE, SAVE, INVEST, GIVE, and stay out of bad debt. He explains three easy steps that reveal secrets to success: making money grow, like the leaves on his tree, and involving the kids to do what he teaches. Added features include a glossary of terms and scripture references to engage families in becoming familiar with financial vocabulary and learning more about scriptures that back up money prospering principles.There is a common stigma in society that managing money is difficult. This ideology puts many restrictions on people and stagnates their ability to advance in life. Because of this, they will wait until they're much older to learn and apply money management principles, and by then, it's too late to prosper, retire, or leave an inheritance for their children's children. The world's system is designed to lure individuals into debt and hyper-consumption; hence good and hardworking people look unto to man, the government, and loans from banks as their 'source.' It's safe to say when you are born in the US, you are born into trillions of dollars of debt. It is Money Mike and the Gang's goal to break that cycle of decline by teaching kids and parents that money really is easy when you apply positive Biblical values of how to tithe, save, invest, give, and stay out of debt. Money Is Easy is a message of hope to break the misconception that money is difficult, lose the cycle of debt, and break a poverty mentality (that starts early in childhood development). The Money Mike characters are designed to make learning fun and to engage kids to get familiar with financial vocabulary and how to apply simple steps to prosper God's way.
