Um dia na vida de uma nota de 20 dólares

My niece is 11 and usually allergic to anything educational, but she read this whole book in one sitting. Following a single $20 bill through different hands actually makes the money-and-citizenship lessons stick. It's part of a 12-book set, and now she wants the rest.

I picked this up for my 10-year-old who's been asking where money actually comes from, and the whole story being told from the bill's point of view made it click for her. The citizenship angle woven into the 12-book collection feels less like a lesson and more like a story she wants to keep reading.

My 9-year-old actually asked to read this one on her own, which never happens with the books we buy for school. The story follows a single $20 bill through different hands, so it sneaks in lessons about earning and spending without ever feeling like a lecture. We've already read it twice at bedtime.
