This is the first in a long series of books on money matters for kids. It spends a lot of time focusing more on the story, so it rhymes quite well and has a nice cadence. The illustrations are soft and lovely and feel like they stepped out of an animated show. This book gave an idea of all the ways people earn income. That was interesting, but I hope that there’s deeper information in the following books in the series. This seemed a basic view over which while I’m not sure it fits the title of “understanding” in it rather just says, “here’s how to get income”.

A charming and educational children's picture book that takes young readers on a captivating journey with Lilly as she explores the diverse ways adults earn money.

Through its vivid illustrations and simple yet informative narrative, the book not only sparks children's curiosity but also helps them grasp the idea that money is earned through various means. It's an excellent addition to any child's library and an essential resource for teaching financial literacy at an early age.
