This book is wonderful. Little Daymond Learns to Earn gives parents a chance to connect with their child in a fun way about a (sometimes) difficult conversation. Daymond challenges the status quo for teaching financial literacy and I hope others join the mission.

I was fortunate to see this book used in an elementary classroom reading. The children were very engaged and continued to have a classroom dialogue after the reading was over. The writing and format was easy for the children to comprehend and express their own entrepreneurial dreams.

After reading the book and downloading the free resource, we practiced using money. This is a great resource for kids. The illustrations are phenomenal. The story is fun. It opens up Great discussions to teach kids on how to use money, and how to think like a little Entrepreneurs. My boys are 7 and 9 years old. My teenager even read it to his brothers.

We just got Daymond's new book and my (almost 5 year old) son is loving it! We had already started working on concepts about how he could earn money helping at home, but now he wants to explore how he can start his own business. Most children's literature around this topic focus on the typical lemonade stand, and while that is a great endeavor, we love that Little Daymond focuses more on the kid's unique skills and abilities. I also love that his first attempt at launching his business fails - a great lesson for every budding entrepreneur! Definitely need to add this to your bookshelf!

This book is so long overdue and a very welcome addition to our family bookshelf! It has been so hard to find books that teach kids about money *while keeping them engaged and excited* but Little Daymond Learns to Earn knocks it out of the park on all ends! Having kiddos that are 2, 6, and 9, I love that the book is easily digestible for a wide age range. Our two-year-old loves the pictures, our 6-year-old likes following along with the simple addition/subtraction prompts, and our 9-year-old is already planning out her new business. 10 out of 10 recommend Little Daymond Learns to Earn for any parent looking to open up a dialogue about financial literacy with their kiddos. It's never too early to start!
