We love guest reading! If you’d like Daniel Fernandez to come to your school, scout troop, church group, or meet up he would love it! In addition to guest reading, there are learning activities and games we put on to get kids talking about and understanding money. These activities are geared towards elementary school aged kids. Our purpose is to teach kids the basics about financial literacy and build a foundation upon which they will be able to grasp more advanced understanding as they mature and get older.
