Lilly and May both wish that their parents didn’t have to leave for work day after day. Discover the power of money and its impact on family in the delightful Lilly and May Learn Why Mom and Dad Work.

They’re both upset one morning, as Mom and Dad go to work yet again instead of staying home with them. Lilly and May’s mother assures them that they will be back later, but they have to go and earn money to support the family. Before leaving, their mother teaches Lilly and May all the ways they need and use money. She shows how it impacts the people and community around them.

This heartwarming tale packs a lot of information into a few short passages.

Explaining finance and economics to children may seem daunting, but Delauney makes it easy and fun in this story. Lilly and May learn about the price of essentials like food and clothes, and that money also pays for the services of others so that they can then support themselves and their families in turn. This short tale even explains how taxes support public services in the community such as libraries, schools, and judges.

Anthony C. Delauney’s Lilly and May Learn Why Mom and Dad Work is a sweet story that builds foundational financial concepts, valuable lessons for children to have a healthy financial future.
