Money doesn't have to be boring—and learning about it doesn't have to wait until adulthood.
In this inspiring children's book, three siblings from Dar es Salaam—Lincoln (8), Levi (7), and Romana (5)—embark on an unforgettable journey into the world of FinTech (financial technology).
Guided by their digital friend Digi, they discover that money isn't just coins and notes. It's mobile wallets, savings jars, creative businesses, and even apps they can imagine and build themselves. Blending storytelling, African settings, and hands-on activities, the book makes financial literacy exciting for children ages 5–13.
