Why Money Matters: An unmissable, new, illustrated non-fiction book about money for 6-9 year olds for 2023: Book 1 (Little Experts)

Product Information

I’ve absolutely loved writing the book! It’s forced me to simplify what can feel like quite a complicated subject and it’s boiled down the fundamentals for me as well. The book is very focused on the need to know and I hope my language is accessible too. The major publishing programme will see Red Shed launch six titles in the first year, with further titles to follow. The first three will launch in July 2023, with experts James May, Deborah Meaden and Dr Ronx covering topics including “human-powered vehicles, the human body and how money shapes the world we live in". Absolutely! We didn’t have a lot then and without knowing it, it taught me the value of money. I want to give children the best chance in life early enough so that they can make the best of their money and understand the good and bad things that can come from it.

But I’m not a particularly fearful person, which is a trait of an entrepreneur. You always think you’ll be able to work it out. You had a Succession moment when your parents offered to sell Weststar Holidays to you. How did that go? I also spend money on my garden. For me, the biggest luxury in life is me being able to buy something or do something or support a cause if I want to. Travel used to be your greatest luxury, but do your eco-credentials allow it now? As the adage goes, “Money makes the world go around” and this is the perfect book to explain why that is. With inviting, colourful illustrations, this is the first book in the new Little Experts series, and is an accessible guide to money for children.

About Deborah Meaden

But I had always wanted to be in business since I was tiny – I never imagined any other job. That’s why I had my first flower stall at the age of seven. When did you get into business? I use charge cards. It’s like a credit card, but you must pay off the balance in full each month. I don’t use credit in my personal life and that comes from my early days of getting myself into credit card debt when I was at college in Brighton.

Running the Country by ALASTAIR CAMPBELL, a writer, podcaster and strategist who is best known for his work as former PM Tony Blair’s spokesman. When I was writing my children’s book, Why Money Matters, I learned that you form your basic money habits, whether you’re a saver or a spender, by the age of seven. What was your first paid job?
