What if your child could learn the secrets of money... through a story they'll never forget? Meet Penny Martinez—a determined 7-year-old with a big dream and an even bigger heart. When she spots a shiny red bicycle in the toy store window, she knows she has to have it. But there's one problem: it costs $50, and Penny doesn't have any money saved. What happens next is a heartwarming adventure that will teach your child (and maybe even you!) powerful lessons about earning, saving, spending wisely, and giving generously—all wrapped up in a story they'll want to read again and again.
