Rose is eleven, careful, and quietly kind—the kind of kid who notices everything… especially the things nobody says out loud. Like the way money changes the air in a room. The way fundraisers turn helping into a competition. The way “top donors” can start to feel like “top kids.” And the way a simple price tag can make you wonder if you belong. When Rose’s school launches a fundraiser full of prizes, rankings, and pressure, her heart begins to carry a familiar fear: What if what we can give isn’t enough? But at home, her mom offers something different—three jars on the kitchen table labeled Save , Spend , and Give . Not as strict rules… but as a gentle way to learn money basics without shame. Through everyday moments, quiet courage, and one powerful week at school, Rose discovers that money is a tool—not a measure of her worth. And that real kindness isn’t loud, flashy, or performed for applause… it’s honest, steady, and deeply human. ROSE & THE QUIET LESSONS OF MONEY is a warm, uplifting story about money basics, self-worth, boundaries, and the kind of generosity that doesn’t require a scoreboard. Perfect for kids learning financial habits
