Money Smart Week Kids Read: Free copy of the book Count on Pablo for all who attend!
Children ages 5-7 and their parents are invited to a fun story time for Money Smart Week, with all children present receiving a free copy of the book, Count on Pablo! This book, by Barbara DeRubertis, tells the story of Pablo, who shows how good he is at counting while helping his grandmother – his “abuela” – prepare and count out vegetables to take to market. There will be a group read, with fun activities for kids – on how to manage their money! The free discussion guide that all receive gives ideas for related activities the family can enjoy at home. This Money Smart Week event is sponsored by Ally Financial and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Come, enjoy, and learn!
