Who are we?
The idea for rhymed children’s books on money, ethics and sustainability comes from Zurich-based author, Dr. Mara Catherine Harvey. Mara is a senior manager in finance with over 20 years of experience, and is an active advocate for gender equality. Her deep conviction is that daily money decisions are the most untapped source of positive change, to shape a more sustainable future for our children. Working with her wonderful illustrator, Mariajo Ilustrajo, AOI World Illustration Award winner 2020, she brought the book series to life to empower children across the globe and for all parents to enjoy!
Empower your child and continue its financial education with the other books in our series. Our books help busy parents to educate their children on money and values from an early age, to give them a head-start in life and prepare them for their financial future – it’s short, simple and fun.
The books are suitable for boys and girls alike, and are dedicated to all parents who want their children to grow up financially confident, with strong money ethics and empowered to shape a sustainable future
Testimonials
Many girls’ and boys’ minds have already been set to succeed
"I couldn’t wait to read it all before I express to you my gratitude for being such an inspirational role model not only for women and men around the world but also for kids. I can’t wait for the launch of the next 3 books and store them in my library for the next generation of girls and boys to get educated on this topic on best way possible. It’s so entertaining, so cleverly written, with its funny sides and still disclosing in a frank way very honest facts with clear message for solution!"

"Hi! I am writing to you to thank you for your children's books on money. they were recommended to me by a friend. I bought them for my seven-year-old niece who really liked them and then asked us to put her present money in her bank account! Thank you for providing us with the tools to educate children on money themes. It is crucial and I know that starting early will have a great impact on her life."

" Thank you so much for the lovely books. I have read them all this afternoon and I understand now the concepts in your book a lot better than before. In fact, I didn't know about some of them at all. I've now decided to go to the bank tomorrow with my dad and set up my first savings account, I'm very excited about it. I just finished watching your interview on IMEX America and I thought it was very interesting. We went to your website with mum and purchased the secret chapter 3 (digital money) and I hope to read it as soon as the confirmation e-mail comes."
