Financial Literacy Booklist for Kids

That ALA! What would we do without our national professional library association!?!

They recently made available online (and free to download) a mighty publication: Thinking Money for All Kids: Diverse and Inclusive Reads to Teach Young People about Money. It was developed in collaboration with FINRA Investor Education Foundation (FINRA Foundation). The document includes an excellent booklist developed in collaboration with librarian advisors (including WI's own Lori Burgess) as well as tips on building a strong financial literacy collection, program ideas and resources.

ALA writes: "We all need to master the knowledge and skills to make smart financial choices and prepare for whatever the future brings. Unfortunately, books that seek to teach children and young people good financial habits often, perhaps unknowingly, lack diverse characters and reinforce harmful stereotypes.

ALA and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation have collaborated with a team of librarian advisors to develop a book list that eschews stereotypes and embraces diversity in telling stories and sharing skills related to personal finance and financial capability for children."
