“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”

This is the nugget of wisdom that so many of us were handed as children, and often the financial literacy education ended there. But research shows that children benefit from learning about how money works even at a very young age. Luckily, moms and Saffi Squirrel authors Clarissa de la Paz and Monique Carlos have made it their mission to teach money matters to kids. You're never too young to start your financial education!

Saffi Squirrel was born out of Clarissa and Monique's desire to help families cultivate better values and habits through meaningful stories and thought-provoking activities. They aim to empower families to cultivate a positive relationship with money.
