Synopsis
What if your child could learn the secret history of money — through an epic time-travel adventure?

À propos de l'auteur
Iris Wang is a global investor, storyteller, and mom on a mission to help kids unlock the power of money with curiosity and confidence. She has spent decades at the forefront of institutional investing, working with some of the biggest companies in the world to navigate financial markets and shape strategies that move billions. Those experiences-combined with countless dinner table debates with her two brilliantly opinioned sons-inspired her to reimagine the often-intimidating world of finance as something playful, relatable, and meaningful.To bridge that gap, she created the World of Money series: a collection of books designed to empower young readers to build a healthy relationship with money and their financial lives from the very beginning. Through laughter, wonder, and even time travel, Iris brings financial wisdom to life in ways that spark curiosity and excitement. This is her first book-but certainly not her last-written with love, passion, and a vision to inspire generations to come.
