Parents Are Already Seeing the Difference
Having read The Richest Man in Babylon myself, I was excited to see a re-telling aimed at kids. I’ve read it aloud twice to my younger kids, and my older son read it and started asking questions about financial ideas! Definitely sparking creative thinking and we look forward to the next book!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My son (6) and daughter (4) loved this book. And the most impressive part is that they didn’t even realize they were learning about financial literacy. It wasn’t for another day or two when they told me they wanted to save their allowance for a few weeks in order to buy a bigger toy instead of buying candy. Seeing them learn through reading made my heart melt.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My kids love the beautiful illustrations along with the engaging and relatable story of young Kap trying to make his way in life. What a great way to teach kids the principles of entrepreneurship and serving others to create wealth. Highly recommended!

Tim Boyle spent years as a financial advisor helping adults fix money mistakes they wished they’d never made. Influenced by his father and grandfather, he became passionate about one mission: teaching children financial wisdom BEFORE they learn it the hard way.
