Grandma's Money Tree K L Harrison

Grandma's Money Tree is a book designed to illustrate the concepts, taught by financial educator K. L. Harrison, concerning the importance of adults saving for their children, and their children's children. Replete with beautiful photographs by photo-illustrator, Dominic Jones, this short read is great for young children as it uses a fictional "money tree" to visually depict family members who set aside money for children when they are young, in order to have a mature "crop" that is ready to be used once the child grows up. Harrison teaches this concept of "legacy wealth" to her clients, and has found that grandparents seem particularly interested in how they can leave something behind that will benefit their grandchildren for years to come. Toys and play things are great but often parents or grandparents want to leave their loved ones with something of real significance that will last. She developed the idea of the "money tree" as a way to talk about how to start out saving for children when they are small, and allowing that money to grow and mature alongside the child. A golden lesson encased in a fun children's book, Grandma's Money Tree is a great read for children, parents and grandparents.
