[Michlib-l] Smart Money Kids Read program - April 2025

[Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)]

FREE BOOKS FOR KIDS.
The Michigan Financial Wellness Network's Smart Money Kids Read program is back for April 2025!
This year's selected book is a crowd favorite, Cinders McLeod's Save It!
A charming introduction to simple money concepts in which a little bunny learns about the power and satisfaction that come with earning and saving money. Concepts: earning, goal setting, saving, planning, prioritizing wants.

Interested public libraries may request copies of this year's book now, to be given away to families participating in your money-themed storytimes in April.
