The collection

Counting on Each Other is a collection of 12 books for youth ages 9 to 12 that address financial literacy and citizenship education to promote personal and community success.

Theo the Tortoise and Lisa the Hare

At school, a big event is announced, a race and fundraiser for the Youth Sports organization. Lisa already sees herself as the winner of the race. Theo, on the other hand, wants to win the prize for best fundraiser, because he needs money to start a business. While Lisa laughs at him, Theo is slowly training for the race, while continuing to collect donations. When faced with moments of discouragement, he follows the advice of his uncle Serge. Theo, like Lisa, redefines what it means to "win" the race.

Christopher R. ★★★★★

My niece is 11 and usually groans at anything that smells educational, but she read Theo and Lisa in one sitting and then asked me what "counting on each other" actually means. The story sneaks the money lessons in through the two characters instead of lecturing, which is exactly what I wanted from

Madison ★★★★★

I grabbed this for my 9-year-old who's starting to ask about money, and the story format made the lessons about saving way less preachy than I expected. There are 12 books in the set, so we've been reading one a week together. Nice that it works for citizenship stuff too, not just math.

George M. ★★★★★

My 10-year-old actually asked me questions about saving after we finished the Theo and Lisa story, which never happens with the books I pick. It's one of 12 in the collection, and the citizenship angle fits nicely with the money lessons instead of feeling tacked on.
