The Financial Fairy Tales - a new approach to Financial Education for kids. By making learning about money serious fun, the Financial Fairy Tales books entertain as well as educate, whilst introducing children to important concepts such as saving, investment, honesty and enterprise.

The book’s author and international financial literacy specialist, Daniel Britton, combines the experience from successful careers in banking, teaching and consultancy to produce a series of stories that explore financial principles with children aged between 5 and 8.

The Financial Fairy Tales form the core of a financial education strategy, to include an interactive website, activity books and guidance for parents and teachers. Their vision is to empower and inspire children around the world through financial literacy and enterprise awareness.

“The current economic situation worldwide has highlighted the need for better financial education”, states Daniel, “by introducing ideas and possibilities around money at an early age, parents can give their children an advantage for later in life.”

“What differentiates these books,” according to Daniel, “is the fact that they can be enjoyed on several levels. Besides being fun to read and beautifully illustrated, they can stimulate ideas and encourage children to explore their potential.”

Described by The Times as a “most engaging and unique approach to financial education”, Dreams Can Come True is the first in the Financial Fairy Tales series published by Authorhouse, ISBN 978-1449070076. A sample of the first chapter is available for free as a digital download from The Financial Fairy Tales website
