Gumballs and Money Trees is a beautifully-illustrated introduction for children to the ideas of assets, liabilities, business, and investing. This fun, age-appropriate story about a young girl, Tatum, and her wish for a money tree introduces children to the ideas of things that bring money to them (assets) and things that take money away (liabilities). Without overcomplicating the topic, the authors help children learn about how assets and business work and how "planting" their money (investing in the assets) makes their money "grow."
