'M' is for Money Book Series

After several years of writing and creative development, Teresa Cascioli, a long-standing high profile philanthropist and an award-winning Canadian entrepreneur and speaker, has authored a new book series entitled M is for Money™ for children ages 5-9 on the topic of financial literacy.  

The books make a very practical & unique educational gift, and provide a useful vehicle through which children can develop financial literacy at a young age.

This all-Canadian kid’s guide to financial literacy includes a 9-book series which follows the financial adventures of twins Tessa and Benji.  Together, they learn basic money concepts including what is money (loonies, toonies), a piggy bank, a bank, a loan, a budget, change and a wallet – just to name a few. 

The topics covered in the 9-book series, of which 6 are currently available, are:

Initially Released

·       Book 2 - The Little Lemonade Stand – Working for our Coins

Given the long-standing association with the CIBPA, Teresa has offered to personally tailor autographs for the soft cover books and provide bookmarks, for orders placed through CIBPA, which are each available for $8.50 (including HST).  All net proceeds are being donated to children’s charities.
