They love Saturdays, they love pocket money… and they lose track of it almost immediately. One weekend it’s a chocolate, the next it’s a toy that breaks in two days. Their parents try to explain saving, but nothing seems to stick.Then one morning, their old piggy bank — Tutu — suddenly speaks. Not in a magical, dramatic way, but in the most ordinary, friendly voice. And from that day, pocket money became a small adventure.Through everyday moments — the market, the school fair, the toy shop, the lemonade stand — Mia and Max slowly learn the basics:• Saving before spending• Deciding what’s a need and what’s just a wish• Comparing prices• Setting small goals• And sharing a little with someone who needs itThere’s nothing complicated or forced. The lessons come through small mistakes, funny situations, and conversations kids can relate to.Each chapter ends with a short activity — a simple chart, a small drawing prompt, or a question to think about. Nothing heavy. Just enough to make kids pause and understand what they read.Why this book works for parentsMost parents want their children to grow up confident with money, but explaining it can feel awkward… or too “grown-up.” This book makes it easy.
