Not-So-Common Cents by Sarah Flynn and Alvin Hall
Super-Duper Important Facts About MONEY You Can’t Afford to Miss
This was such a great interview–I loved talking to Alvin Hall and Sarah Wassner Flynn about Not-So-Common Cents: Super Duper Imporant Facts About Money You Can’t Afford to Miss. This is a NatGeo Kids book and it is terrific. Sarah did a ton of god research into every aspect of money–and written about it with such enthusiasm that everyone at any age will enjoy it. As always with anything NatGeo does, the photography is gorgeous, the paper is superb, and the book a treasure–which is appropriate for a fascinating look at money. And then as if that wasn’t enough, we have Alvin Hall. He is amazing! So smart and he has a great voice. Like me, he is a farm kid. We grew up without money–it was a big deal to collect enough pennies to buy a comic or a candy bar. (Sadly, nowadays you have to collect dollars to buy a candy bar!) He shares lots of insights into–how to keep it, how to grow it, how to figure it all out. I’m going to invite him back to Joy on Paper to talk about some of his other books. You will enjoy this interview! I did….
Cha-ching! Learn everything adults wish they knew about money when they were kids―and more―including how to make it, save it, and multiply it! While money certainly isn’t everything, one fact is true: No matter where you live in the world, money is a basic necessity. From the clothes on your back to the food on your plate, chances are, money is somehow involved in almost all of your day-to-day activities.
