Financial Literacy Experts release Vol. 1 The Birthday Surprise—Empowering Kids to Become Money-Smart Early

Financial literacy shouldn’t start when you’re old enough to get a credit card—it should start when kids first understand the value of a dollar.”
— Sandy Day
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At a time when financial literacy is as essential as reading and math, bestselling author and certified financial educators Sandy Day and Yerlis Quintanilla are rewriting the story of how kids learn about money. Today, Day and Quintanilla officially launch The Adventures of Finance and Literacy™, Vol. 1: The Birthday Surprise—a first-of-its-kind children’s coloring book that turns money lessons into exciting adventures for kids ages 5–9.

With schools struggling to integrate financial education into their curriculum, this book series fills a critical gap—allowing parents to teach their kids how to make, save, spend, share, and invest money through storytelling, interactive activities, and colorful illustrations that spark both imagination and conversation at home.

“Financial literacy shouldn’t start when you’re old enough to get a credit card—it should start when kids first understand the value of a dollar,” said Sandy Day, financial literacy expert and co-author. “With The Adventures of Finance and Literacy™, we’re breaking that cycle by giving children and families fun, practical tools to build healthy money habits that last a lifetime through relatable characters of twins, Finance and Literacy.”

“As a parent and professional banker, I believe children learn money tools better when their parents are actively engaged,” said Yerlis Quintanilla, banking and financial literacy expert and co-author. “Too many adults learn about money the hard way. Our mission is to change that by giving children the tools to start early. And the relatable characters of Finance and her twin brother, Literacy make this financial literacy series approachable, enjoyable, and something families can learn together.”

• Target Audience: Children ages 5–9, parents, educators, youth programs, and community partners. El libro también está en español.
